How the calculation works
Differences = second text counts − first text counts. Characters are Unicode code points including spaces; words are runs of Unicode letters/numbers with apostrophes, hyphens and underscores retained. Emoji and standalone punctuation do not form words. Differences are second minus first; empty text is allowed. Counts and dimensions use the declared rounding convention; other numbers display up to three decimal places where applicable. Nonzero subsecond durations are labelled. Durations round to the nearest second; nonzero subsecond durations are labelled. File-size output units are decimal. Changing an input label does not convert filled values.
Example
Worked example: First Text = "one"; Second Text = "one two". Result: Character difference: 4 Word difference: 1.
Practical tip
Check the input labels and assumptions against the text length difference task before reusing the number.
