Why do two word counters disagree on the same Chinese or Japanese text?
KitForma editorial guide. Whitespace counting and language-aware segmentation use different definitions of a word.
Step-by-step guidance
Whitespace counting and language-aware segmentation use different definitions of a word. In https://kitforma.com/en/line-counter/, choose the content language and word mode deliberately; languages without routine spaces need a suitable segmentation method. Keep the same definition when comparing drafts. If an application form imposes a limit, its own counting rule is decisive. Report the selected mode with the count instead of presenting one algorithm as a universal linguistic truth.
