How are words counted in hyphenated terms or contractions?

ToolCix splits on whitespace boundaries after normalizing punctuation runs so standard contractions like don't count as one word.

What reading speed does ToolCix use for Reading Time?

Reading time assumes an average adult silent reading pace of 225 words per minute, and speaking time uses 130 words per minute.

Is there any word limit?

No—book manuscripts with 100,000+ words count smoothly inside your browser.

Can I check keyword repetition in the same draft?

Yes—paste your draft into our Keyword Density Checker to inspect top 1-, 2-, and 3-word phrases.
