How is word count calculated?
Words are counted by splitting the text by whitespace (spaces, tabs, line breaks) and counting non-empty segments. This means "hello world" counts as 2 words, and multiple spaces between words don't affect the count.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is calculated based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is the typical silent reading speed for adults. The result is rounded up to the nearest minute.
What counts as a sentence?
A sentence is detected by looking for text ending with a period (.), exclamation mark (!), or question mark (?). Multiple punctuation marks (like "..." or "?!") are treated as a single sentence ending.
What counts as a paragraph?
A paragraph is detected by looking for text separated by one or more blank lines (double line breaks). Single line breaks within continuous text are not counted as paragraph separators.
Does this tool work offline?
