Does it count Nepali / Devanagari text?

Yes. The counter recognises Devanagari combining marks and the Nepali danda (।) as a sentence ending.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. The text never leaves your browser — counting is entirely local.

We use an average of 225 words per minute, which matches most published benchmarks for silent reading of general prose.
