Help & Frequently Asked Questions
Learn the calculation methods, manage your reports, or contact us for assistance. Full discovery data remains available only in purchased reports.
Getting started
Can I use the calculator for free?
Yes. Enter a word or phrase and the calculator displays its numerical totals and basic letter-by-letter values at no charge. Creating a saved report associates it with your account.
Do I need an account?
No account is needed to calculate a word. You need an account to save your calculations, purchase a full report, or return to a purchased report.
What kinds of text are supported?
English ciphers calculate unaccented A–Z letters. Hebrew Gematria calculates Hebrew letters. Numbers, punctuation, and unsupported characters do not contribute to those totals. The report shows N/A when a system has no matching letters.
How are the numbers calculated?
Each cipher assigns values to letters, then adds them. Changing the cipher changes the assigned values. Here's a concise guide without revealing the report's premium word matches.
| System | Basic rule |
|---|---|
| English Ordinal | A=1 through Z=26. Example: CAT = 3 + 1 + 20 = 24. |
| Full Reduction | Each English letter's ordinal position is reduced to 1–9 before addition. |
| Reverse Ordinal | A=26 through Z=1, counting backward through the alphabet. |
| Reverse Reduction | Reverse Ordinal letter values reduced to 1–9. |
| English Gem ×6 | The English Ordinal total multiplied by six. It is not an independent matching system. |
| Hebrew Gematria | Traditional Hebrew letter values, calculated for Hebrew-script text. |
Why does Hebrew Gematria show N/A?
The Hebrew system only counts Hebrew letters. An English word such as CAT has no Hebrew-script characters, so that cipher is not applicable.
Do shared numerical values mean two words are connected?
A match means the letters add to the same total under the same cipher. It does not demonstrate a historical, spiritual, or causal relationship. Symbolic discussions in reports are presented as interpretations, not factual predictions.
Purchased reports and PDF help
How do I find a report I've purchased?
Sign in with your original account email and open My Reports. Purchased reports appear in the top section with View Report and Save as PDF options. They are linked to your account, not to a device.
How do I save the 14-page report as a PDF?
Open a purchased report and select Save as PDF. Your browser's print dialog will open. Choose Save as PDF (or Microsoft Print to PDF) and save the file. For the intended colors, enable Background graphics. A4 paper and default scaling are recommended.
Why does the PDF open a print dialog?
The report uses complex page layouts. Browser printing preserves the original 14-page design more reliably than the prototype's previous server-side PDF renderer. This method saves a PDF onto your device, without changing your purchased archive.
Can I return later without buying again?
Yes. Your purchased report remains in your account library while ColumbaDev operates the service. We also recommend saving your own PDF copy.
Can I change the name or phrase in a purchased report?
Purchased reports are frozen to preserve the exact document you bought. You can create a new free calculation for another phrase and buy a different report if you choose.
Payments and orders
How much does a report cost?
The planned price is $1.49 USD per report, paid once. It is not a subscription. Final checkout totals and any applicable taxes are displayed before purchase when payments are enabled.
Is payment currently available?
Payment processing is still being configured during the prototype phase. No checkout is considered complete until the payment provider confirms it and your report appears as purchased in your account.
What if I pay but cannot access my report?
Email gematria@columbadev.com with your account email, report ID, and order reference (if available). Please do not send card numbers or passwords.
Request a refund
If you purchased a report and experienced an issue, you can request a refund by email. Requests are reviewed under the published purchase terms, payment-provider rules, and applicable consumer rights. We won't promise automatic approval before a policy is published.
Privacy & cookies
Gematria uses essential session cookies for account login and security, and a browser preference to remember dismissal of our privacy notice. We do not currently use advertising or analytics cookies. Creating an account stores your email and a one-way password hash. Saved phrases, purchase records, and report archives remain associated with your account to provide your report library.
Payment processing is not active yet. When it launches, we will update this notice to explain the payment provider and relevant retention terms. To request account-data assistance, email gematria@columbadev.com.
