Frequently Asked Questions

How does Kannada word counting work?
The tool counts words by splitting on spaces and punctuation, handling Kannada script specifically. It counts actual words, not just space-separated tokens.
Does it count conjunct characters correctly?
Yes. A conjunct character (two consonants joined) is counted as the correct number of base characters, not as a single character.
What reading speed is used for Kannada?
The tool uses an average Kannada reading speed of approximately 150-180 words per minute for silent reading and 120-140 WPM for speaking.
Can I count mixed Kannada and English text?
Yes. The tool handles mixed-language text, counting both Kannada and English words correctly.
Does it work offline?
Yes. All counting happens in your browser — no data is sent anywhere.
