    Questions

    How are words counted?

    Words are split using your browser's built-in language rules, so contractions count as one word and Chinese or Japanese text is counted correctly.

    How is reading time calculated?

    At 238 words per minute, the average adult silent reading speed. Speaking time uses 150 words per minute.

    Is my text stored?

    No. Counting happens in your browser and nothing is sent or saved.

    Does it work offline?

    Yes, once the page has loaded. The tool keeps working with your internet switched off, because it runs entirely in your browser.
