Frequently asked questions
Is my manuscript uploaded or stored anywhere?
No. The splitting happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never sent to a server and disappears when you close or refresh the page.
Which chapter headings does it recognise?
Lines such as “Chapter 12”, “Ch. 12”, “ตอนที่ 12” and “ตอน 12”, plus divider lines made of ***, --- or ===.
Will it change my text?
No. Each chapter is an exact slice of your original text (only leading and trailing blank space is trimmed), so paragraphs, quotes and formatting are preserved.
What if my manuscript has no chapter headings?
Choose “Every N words”. It aims for the length you set and always ends a chapter on a complete sentence.
Does it work for Thai?
Yes. Word counting uses proper word segmentation for Thai, so a 2,000-word target really means about 2,000 words even though Thai is written without spaces.
