• Estimated reading time (based on 200 words per minute), speaking time (130 words per minute) and handwriting time
• Estimated number of pages, calculated with 250 words per page
• A readability score based on the Flesch Reading Ease formula, shown on a scale from "very easy" to "very difficult"

Frequently asked questions

Is WordCounter.Cloud free?

Yes. Counting and analysing text is free and does not require registration.

Is my text uploaded to a server?

No. According to our privacy policy, the texts you enter are processed and stored exclusively locally in your browser. Your text is saved automatically in your browser's local storage so that it is not lost while you work.

How is the reading time calculated?

The word count is divided by an average reading speed of 200 words per minute and rounded up. Speaking time uses 130 words per minute.

How is the number of pages calculated?

The tool assumes 250 words per page. Real page counts depend on font, font size and layout.

What does the readability score mean?

The score follows the Flesch Reading Ease formula, which uses average sentence length and syllables per word. Higher values mean easier text. The formula was designed for English, so results for other languages are only a rough guide.
