How things are counted
Words and sentences are found with your browser’s own text segmentation, which follows the Unicode rules, so a hyphenated word, an emoji or a letter with an accent counts correctly, and so do languages written without spaces between words. A character is what you see as one character: a family emoji or an accented letter made of two code points counts once.
Reading and speaking time
Reading time uses 238 words a minute, the average for silent reading of non-fiction in English found by a 2019 review of 190 studies (Brysbaert). Speaking time uses 150 words a minute, a typical pace for a presentation; your own pace may differ.
Questions
Does it count spaces as characters?
The Characters figure includes spaces; “Without spaces” leaves out spaces, tabs and line breaks.
How long does it take to read 1,000 words?
About 4 minutes 12 seconds at 238 words a minute, the average for silent reading of non-fiction.
Is a hyphenated word one word or two?
One, following the Unicode word rules your browser uses.
Does it work for other languages?
Yes. Counting follows Unicode rules, so it works for any script, including Japanese and Chinese, which have no spaces between words.
