Frequently asked questions
How does the word counter count words?
A word is any run of letters or numbers; apostrophes and hyphens inside a word (like "don't" or "well-known") keep it as one word. Counts update live as you type.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time assumes an average silent reading speed of 200 words per minute, and speaking time assumes 130 words per minute — the usual pace for presentations and videos.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. Counting happens in your browser with JavaScript. Your text is never sent to a server.
