How the counts work
- Words: any group of characters separated by spaces or line breaks. Hindi and other scripts are counted the same way
- Characters: every letter, number, symbol and space. The second figure leaves out spaces and line breaks
- Sentences: counted by the full stop, question mark, exclamation mark or Hindi danda that ends them
- Paragraphs: blocks of text separated by an empty line
- Keyword density: how often your most used words appear. Short common words like "the" and "is" are left out
- Reading and speaking time: based on the reading speed you choose. Speaking uses about 130 words per minute
Privacy
