Frequently Asked Questions

How is word count calculated?

Words are counted as sequences of characters separated by whitespace. This includes hyphenated words and contractions as single words, matching most standard word processing applications.

How accurate is the reading time?

Reading time is based on the average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute. Actual reading time varies by individual and content complexity, but this provides a reliable estimate.

What are "common words" in keyword analysis?

Common words (like "the", "and", "of") are filtered out from keyword analysis to highlight the meaningful content words. This helps identify the actual topics and themes in your text.

Is my text stored anywhere?

No. All counting and analysis happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere. It remains completely private.
