FAQ

Does it count numbers as words?

Yes. Numbers separated by spaces are counted as words, just like standard tokens in most counters.

Is reading time exact?

No. Reading time is an estimate based on typical reading speed, so use it as a planning signal rather than a strict measurement.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The counter works on desktop and mobile browsers and updates as you type.
