Frequently Asked Questions

How are words counted?

Words are counted by splitting on whitespace. Multiple spaces, tabs, and newlines between words are handled correctly. Hyphenated words count as one word.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute. Speaking time uses 130 words per minute, which is a typical presentation pace.

What about special characters and numbers?

Numbers and special characters are included in character counts. Words containing numbers are counted as words. Punctuation is included in character counts but not in keyword density analysis.

How does keyword density work?

Keyword density shows your top 10 most frequently used words. You can toggle exclusion of common stop words (a, the, is, etc.) to focus on meaningful content words. Percentage is calculated relative to total word count.

Is my text private?

Yes. All counting and analysis happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to any server.
