Why is the word or character count different from another site?

Why counts vary between sites — extraction differences and word segmentation.

Updated

The text extraction process is custom-built and may differ from other websites. The character count should be mostly the same, unless there's data that's missing or data that was erroneously included. For example, a game can contain item text in another file that was forgotten to be included.

The word count can have more differences, as there are different ways the words can be split. For example, due to differences in word segmentation. If you find anything that looks erroneous, please use the report an issue button.
