Frequently Asked Questions
How does Tamil word counting work?▼
The tool counts words by splitting on spaces and punctuation, handling Tamil 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 Tamil?▼
The tool uses an average Tamil reading speed of approximately 150-180 words per minute for silent reading and 120-140 WPM for speaking.
Can I count mixed Tamil and English text?▼
Yes. The tool handles mixed-language text, counting both Tamil and English words correctly.
Does it work offline?▼
Yes. All counting happens in your browser — no data is sent anywhere.
