How words are counted

The counter uses your browser's built-in, language-aware text segmentation (Intl.Segmenter) where available. This means words are recognized correctly in languages such as Arabic, and hyphenated words and contractions are treated sensibly. Numbers count as words; punctuation and emoji do not.

Different programs may count slightly differently — for example in how they treat hyphens, URLs or numbers — so small differences compared with a word processor are normal.

Reading and speaking time

Reading time is based on an average silent reading speed of about 238 words per minute for adults. Speaking time assumes about 140 words per minute, a comfortable pace for presentations. Your own pace may be faster or slower.

Frequently asked questions

Is my text saved anywhere?

No. Counting happens in your browser. Your text isn't sent to or stored on our servers.

Does it work with Arabic and other languages?

Yes. The counter uses language-aware word detection, so it works with Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese and many other languages.

Why is my count different from Microsoft Word or Google Docs?

Each program has its own rules for things like hyphens, numbers and symbols. Differences are usually just a few words.

How is a sentence counted?

Sentences are detected from sentence-ending punctuation such as . ! ? and ؟ using your browser's language rules.

Is there a length limit?

There's no fixed limit. Very long texts (hundreds of thousands of words) may make the page slower on older devices.
