FAQ
How is reading time calculated?
It divides total word count by 200 words per minute (WPM), the standard average reading speed for English adults.
What is the difference between character count with and without spaces?
With spaces counts every whitespace character, while without spaces counts strictly visible alphanumeric and punctuation glyphs.
Does this word counter count hyphenated words and contractions as one word?
Yes, standard hyphenated terms (e.g. 'state-of-the-art') and contractions (e.g. 'don't') are parsed as single linguistic units.
Is my text uploaded or stored on any server?
No, all text processing runs entirely within your browser local memory.
