The short answer
The words in the text written for you, after clean-up. Fillers that were removed are never counted. Rewrites are free.
Counted and not counted
| Counts | Free |
|---|---|
| Words in each new dictation's finished text | "Um", "uh" and other removed fillers |
| Redoing a dictation in another style | |
| Rewriting selected text | |
| Snippets | |
| Syncing your settings |
An example
You say: "um so can we, can we move the call to Thursday" (11 words spoken). It writes: "Can we move the call to Thursday?" That counts as 7 words.
Where to see your count
The app shows how many free words you have left this week, and your account page shows your words this week and each day. On paid plans words are unlimited, and the account page shows your speaking time against fair use instead.
