Frequently asked questions
How is reading time estimated?
It assumes an average reading speed of about 200 words per minute, a common pace for adult readers.
How are words counted?
Any run of non-space characters separated by whitespace counts as one word, matching how most word counters tally text.
Is my text uploaded?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
