Frequently Asked Questions
How are words counted?
Words are counted by splitting text on whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). Each continuous sequence of non-whitespace characters counts as one word.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is typical for adult readers.
Does it count words in other languages?
Yes, the word counter works with any language that uses spaces between words. For languages like Chinese or Japanese that don't use spaces, character count is more relevant.
