Frequently asked questions
How is counting done?
A word is a sequence of letters or digits. “e-mail-address” and “1’234.50” each count as one word, “e. g.” as two. Characters are counted as you see them: an emoji is one character. Sentences are estimated; abbreviations like “e. g.” and dates like “1. August” don’t end a sentence.
Where do reading and speaking times come from?
From average values: around 230 words per minute when reading on screen and around 130 words per minute when speaking. Technical texts take longer.
