FAQ
How are words counted?
The counter splits text on spaces and punctuation using simple rules, which matches most editors closely. Hyphenated forms, numbers and abbreviations can be counted slightly differently than in a specific word processor.
How is reading time estimated?
Reading time uses an average reading speed of a typical adult and speaking time uses a slower pace for spoken delivery, so both are estimates to plan with rather than exact durations.
Does it work for long documents?
Yes. You can paste long texts, articles or essays; everything is counted in the browser, so the practical limit is your device's memory rather than a server quota.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. The analysis runs in your browser and the pasted text is not uploaded to a ToolForge Online server, which also makes the tool suitable for unpublished work.
