Frequently asked questions

How does the word counter work?

Text is processed entirely in your browser. We split on whitespace runs while ignoring punctuation-only tokens, so 'don't' counts as one word and 'hello — world' counts as two.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. Nothing leaves your device. All counting happens with client-side JavaScript.

How is reading time calculated?

We use 238 words per minute as the average adult silent reading speed and round up to the nearest minute.
