Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about the Word Counter
How is reading time calculated?+
We use an average adult silent reading speed of 200 words per minute. Actual reading time varies by reader and content complexity.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?+
No. All counting happens locally in your browser — your text is never sent to a server.
Does it count numbers and symbols as words?+
Word count splits on whitespace, so standalone numbers and symbol groups are counted as words, matching how most word processors count them.
