Technical Architecture & Execution Mechanics
Regex Tokenization & Lexical Density Algorithms
Word counting tokenizes text using unicode-aware regular expressions (\s+), filtering out empty strings and non-alphanumeric punctuation. Reading duration is modeled at 200 words per minute (WPM), and speaking time is evaluated at 130 WPM.
Words = text.trim().split(/\s+/).filter(Boolean).length | Reading_Minutes = Words / 200Technical Limitations & Operational Constraints
- Hyphenated words (e.g. "state-of-the-art") and contractions are counted as single words in accordance with standard linguistic conventions.
