Frequently Asked Questions
-
How are words counted?
Words are counted by splitting the text on whitespace boundaries. Hyphenated words count as one word.
-
Does it count Chinese/Japanese characters?
Yes. For CJK text, each character is counted individually as a word since CJK languages do not use spaces between words.
-
How is reading time estimated?
Reading time is estimated at approximately 200 words per minute for English text and 300 characters per minute for CJK text.
-
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
