Frequently asked questions

How are Chinese or Japanese texts counted?

CJK characters each count as one word, while Latin text counts per word — mixed-language text gets an accurate combined total, along with character, sentence, paragraph and line counts.

How is reading time estimated?

From the word count at an average adult reading speed. It is a rough guide — technical material reads slower than fiction.

Is my text uploaded?

No. Counting happens in your browser as you type.
