Frequently asked questions
How are words counted?
Any run of characters between spaces or line breaks counts as one word, the same way most word processors count.
How long does a text take to read?
About 230 words a minute for an adult, so a 1,000-word article takes 4 to 5 minutes.
Is my text stored?
No. Counting happens in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere.
