    Questions

    How are words counted?

    Your browser’s built-in language rules split the text into words, so contractions like “isn’t” count once and languages without spaces, such as Chinese and Japanese, are counted sensibly. Words joined by a hyphen (“well-known”, “kanak-kanak”) count as one, as Word and Google Docs count them. Numbers count as words; punctuation doesn’t.

    Do emoji and accented letters count as one character?

    Yes. Characters are counted the way you see them, so an emoji with a skin tone, or a letter with an accent written as two codes, counts as one.

    How is reading time worked out?

    At 238 words per minute, the average silent reading speed for adults in English, and speaking time at 150 words per minute, a typical pace for presentations.

    Is my text saved anywhere?

    No. It stays in this tab and is gone when you close it. Your text is never sent to a server or stored in your browser.

    Is it free? Do I need an account?

    It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
