How the calculation works
Count non-empty tokens separated by whitespace. Whitespace tokens are a declared word-count convention: hyphenated words and punctuation attached to a word remain one token; languages without spaces need another segmentation method. Empty text counts as zero. Counts and dimensions use the declared rounding convention; other numbers display up to three decimal places where applicable. Nonzero subsecond durations are labelled. Durations round to the nearest second; nonzero subsecond durations are labelled. File-size output units are decimal. Changing an input label does not convert filled values.
Example
Worked example: Article Text = "One two three.". Result: 3.
Practical tip
Check the input labels and assumptions against the article word task before reusing the number.
