Frequently asked questions
Does it count words the same way as Word or Google Docs?
Mostly. Words are groups of characters separated by spaces or line breaks. Word processors may count hyphenated words or numbers slightly differently.
How is reading time calculated?
The tool divides the word count by 200, a common estimate for average silent reading. Your own speed will vary.
