About this tool

A lightweight, privacy-first composition aid that counts as you type — no server, no tracking, nothing leaves your browser. It uses the browser's native Intl.Segmenter API where available for accurate Unicode-aware word detection, falling back to a comprehensive regex for older environments.

Read time is estimated at 238 words per minute, a commonly cited average for adult silent reading of standard prose.
