FAQs
How are words counted?
Text is split on whitespace, so hyphenated compounds like "well-known" count as one word and numbers count as words too — the same convention most editors use.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you type or paste ever leaves your device.
How is reading time estimated?
Reading time assumes 200 words per minute and speaking time 130 words per minute — widely used averages for English text.
