Privacy & Security

Is my text safe and private?

Yes, 100%. All our tools process text locally in your browser. Your text never leaves your device or gets stored on any server. We don't collect, store, or share your text data. Your privacy is completely protected.

Do you track my usage or store my data?

No, we don't track your usage patterns or store your text data. We use Google Analytics (like most websites) to understand general traffic patterns, but we never access, read, or store the content you process with our tools. For more details, please read our Privacy Policy.

Can the tools work offline?

Many of our tools work offline once the page has loaded, since processing happens locally in your browser. Tools that require external APIs (like the paraphrasing tool) need an internet connection. However, most counting tools, text converters, and similar tools work without internet after initial page load.

Our Tools

How does the Word Counter work?

Our Word Counter instantly counts words, characters (with and without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and provides reading time estimates. Simply type or paste your text, and the counting happens automatically in real-time. It's perfect for essays, articles, social media posts, and any writing with length requirements.

How accurate is the Grammar Checker?

Our Grammar Checker achieves over 95% accuracy in detecting common grammar errors, spelling mistakes, and punctuation issues. It uses advanced algorithms to analyze your text and provide detailed suggestions. While it's highly accurate, we always recommend reviewing suggestions for context-specific writing.

How does the Paraphrasing Tool work?

Our Paraphrasing Tool uses AI-powered algorithms to rewrite text while maintaining original meaning. It replaces words with context-appropriate synonyms, restructures sentences, and improves clarity. The tool works with unlimited text length and processes everything in your browser for complete privacy.

What typing test durations are available?

Our Typing Test offers multiple duration options: 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 minutes. You can also choose from 3 difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard) and 11 specialized vocabulary themes including Common English, Medical, Programming, Business, Literature, and more.

Can the Plagiarism Checker handle long documents?

Yes, our Plagiarism Checker can analyze documents of any length. For very long documents (50+ pages), we recommend checking in sections for optimal processing speed. The tool compares your text against millions of online sources to identify potential matches.

How often are new tools added?

We regularly add new tools based on user feedback and emerging writing needs. We typically release 2-5 new tools each month. Check our All Tools page regularly to discover new additions, or follow our blog for announcements.
