Terms of Use

What this service is

Word Count Kit is a free, browser-based measurement tool operated by Word Wise. You may use it for personal, academic and commercial writing without charge and without an account.

Estimates are estimates

Reading time, speaking time and page counts are calculated from rates and formatting conventions that are stated on each page. They are planning figures, not guarantees. Actual reading speed varies with the reader and the material; actual speaking time varies with pace, pauses and audience; actual page counts vary with your font, margins, headings and figures.

Do not rely on these figures alone where a hard limit has consequences. Check against the system that will actually measure your work.

Academic use

This tool measures text you have already written. It does not generate, rewrite, paraphrase or complete text, and it is not designed to help anyone submit work that is not their own. Using it does not exempt you from your institution's academic integrity rules, which remain your responsibility.

No warranty

The service is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for any loss arising from use of the service, including missed limits, rejected submissions or overrunning presentations.

Acceptable use

Do not attempt to disrupt the service, misrepresent it as your own product, or use it in a way that breaks the law where you are.

Changes

These terms may be updated. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.
