Frequently Asked Questions
How are words counted?
Words are counted by splitting text on whitespace and punctuation boundaries. Hyphenated words like 'well-known' count as one word.
Does it count characters with or without spaces?
Both — we show character count with spaces and without spaces separately.
How is reading time calculated?
Based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is typical for most adults reading online content.
Is there a word limit?
No hard limit — the counter works on text of any length. Very large texts may take a moment to process.
