Use cases
A student writing an essay with a 500-word minimum pastes their draft and sees they have 423 words, so they need to add 77 more. A blog writer checks the estimated reading time to keep posts under 5 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
How is reading time estimated?
Based on the average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute. The estimate is rounded up to the nearest minute.
Are numbers counted as words?
Yes. Any sequence of characters separated by spaces is counted as a word, including numbers.
Is my text stored or sent to a server?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser. Your text is never transmitted anywhere.
