Words are counted by splitting on whitespace and filtering empty strings. Hyphenated words count as one word. Numbers count as words.

What reading speed is used?

Reading time assumes 200 words per minute (average adult silent reading). Speaking time assumes 130 words per minute for presentations.

Yes. CJK characters are counted individually as characters. Word counting for CJK text uses character-based segmentation.
