Very accurate! We count words by splitting on whitespace and filtering empty strings. The character count includes all characters including spaces, while 'characters without spaces' excludes all whitespace. Sentence detection uses punctuation marks (. ! ?) as delimiters.
Average reading speed is 200-250 words per minute for adults, while average speaking speed is 130-160 words per minute. These are adjustable in the settings to match your personal pace. The estimates help you gauge content length for presentations or reading materials.
Keyword density shows the frequency of words in your text as a percentage. We exclude common words (the, a, an, etc.) and focus on meaningful terms. This helps identify the main topics and can be useful for SEO optimization or content analysis.
