Words are counted by splitting the text on whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). Any sequence of non-whitespace characters is counted as one word.

Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, which is an average adult reading speed. Speaking time uses 130 words per minute.

Both! The tool shows character count with spaces and without spaces separately.
