PLEASE NOTE:
All files you send to wordcount@wordfast.com are kept strictly confidential. Please see our disclaimer for details.

This tool does not use the same word counting methodology as Microsoft Word. For example, Wordfast counts contractions as two words whereas MS Word counts them as one. Wordfast does not count numbers as words either.
