Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Does the tool count hyphenated words as one word or two?

It counts hyphenated words (like “well-known”) as one word.

2. How does it calculate reading and speaking time?

• Reading time is based on 200 words per minute (average reading speed).
• Speaking time is based on 130 words per minute (average speaking speed).

3. What counts as a “sentence”?

The tool detects sentences by looking for periods (.), question marks (?), and exclamation points (!).

4. Does punctuation affect word count?

No—punctuation attached to words (like “Hello!”) is still counted as part of the word.

5. How does keyword density work?

It shows the most frequently used words (excluding common words like “the” or “and”). Words must be at least 4 letters long to appear in the list.
