Frequently Asked Questions

How are words counted?
Words are split on whitespace and punctuation boundaries; hyphenated words (e.g. "well-known") count as one word.
What reading speed is used for the estimate?
The tool assumes an average adult reading speed of 200–250 words per minute.
Does the character count include spaces?
Yes — both "with spaces" and "without spaces" counts are displayed so you can choose whichever suits your needs.
Is there a text length limit?
No limit. All processing runs entirely in your browser, so even very long documents are handled instantly without uploading anything.
