Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tool count words?
Words are counted by splitting the text on spaces and line breaks and ignoring pieces that contain no letters or digits. This works for any language, including Urdu and Hindi. Hyphenated words like "well-known" are counted as one word.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, which is the average silent reading speed for adults. Speaking time uses 130 words per minute, the average conversational speaking rate.
Does the tool count characters with or without spaces?
Both. The tool displays character count including spaces and character count excluding spaces in separate counters.
Is there a maximum text length?
There is no hard limit. The tool runs in your browser and can handle very large documents, though extremely large texts (over 100,000 words) may slow down depending on your device.
Can I use this for SEO meta descriptions?
Yes. Google recommends meta descriptions of under 160 characters. Paste your description into the tool to check its character count before adding it to your website.
