Word counter FAQ
How are words counted?
Text is split on whitespace. Multiple spaces or line breaks do not inflate the count.
Is my writing stored?
No. Counting runs locally in your browser session.
Does reading time include speaking pace?
The estimate uses reading pace (~200 wpm), not speaking pace (~130–150 wpm).
