How to stop automatic word reading increase

Hello,

When I open the leasson, every time I open it and navigate through the pages the reding words counter increased automatically, even If I didn’t click on complete the lesson.

Is this a bug or something can I control it?
I didn’t find related option in the settings page

If you’re in the lesson, go to the menu in upper right corner of the lesson. Go to reader settings and turn off “paging move words to known”. It’s on by default (for some reason after all these years).

It seems you mean auto converting the blue words to white words,
MY complaint related to Words of Reading
not the known words, every time I open the lesson and lose it the number increases.

Apologies, I misunderstood. I don’t think there’s a setting you can turn off. It attempts to add to your words read. It’s based on the amount of time you spend on the page or sentence if in sentence view (I believe).

You can get around it by navigating quicker. I usually try to go immediately to sentence mode, which I work in normally, so at most just that sentence gets added. Then I navigate quickly from there.

If you aren’t needing to navigate through the lesson a lot, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. You can also go to the statistics and subtract from words read.

So a bit of a pain if needing to navigate a bit depending on what your process may be. For myself, this little bit of fudging is worth it to have it counting words read for lessons that I can’t hope to complete in one session…especially with the longer lessons that LingQ provides.

It would be nice to have a setting though so that folks could decide if they want it counting words read for them automatically.

Thank you for your response, I was reading in the related tobics, and I thought the number should increase only in 2 cases for the first reading , and when you press complete the lesson other wise it shouldn’t be calculated

Hi @zoran
Could you advice how the reading words calculated?
Once i open the page ? Or when i stay some time in it ?
Can i control this?
When i navigate through a topic to get specific sentence, does it affect the reading speed and the number of reading words?

When you move between pages, the number of words from the previous page will be added to your Reading word count.
