How It Works
The word counter splits text by whitespace to count words, counts total characters for the character count, removes spaces to count characters without spaces, detects sentences by looking for sentence-ending punctuation, and splits by double line breaks to count paragraphs. Reading time is calculated at 200 words per minute, and speaking time at 130 words per minute.
FAQ
Words are counted by splitting the text on whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines) and filtering out empty strings. Hyphenated words like "well-known" count as one word.
Reading time uses 200 words per minute (average adult reading speed) and speaking time uses 130 words per minute (average speaking pace for presentations).
Common stop words like "the", "a", "is", "in", "and", "of", "to" etc. are excluded from the keyword frequency list so you see only meaningful content words.
