FAQ
Does it count Chinese characters?
Yes — each CJK character counts as one word, and character counts include them. Mixed Chinese-English text is handled correctly.
How is reading time calculated?
From the word count at an average reading speed, so you get a quick estimate for articles and essays.
Is there a text length limit?
No practical limit for normal use — paste an entire novel chapter if you like.
