Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Word Counter
How accurate is the word count?
Our word counter is highly accurate and follows standard counting methods. Words are separated by spaces, and we filter out empty strings for precise counts.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute for adults. Speaking time uses 150 words per minute, which is typical for presentations.
What does text complexity mean?
Text complexity is determined by the average words per sentence. Simple (under 15), Medium (15-20), and Complex (over 20) help gauge readability.
Can I save or export my text?
Yes! You can download your text as a .txt file or copy the statistics to your clipboard for easy sharing and record-keeping.
Is there a character or word limit?
There's no strict limit, but very large texts (over 100,000 words) may experience slower performance. The tool works best with typical document sizes.
