Common questions
How is reading time calculated?
At 225 words per minute, a commonly cited average for adult silent reading. Your actual speed varies with content difficulty and familiarity, treat it as a ballpark, not a precise measurement.
How are sentences counted?
By counting runs of text ending in a period, exclamation mark, or question mark followed by whitespace or the end of the text. Abbreviations like "Mr." or "e.g." can occasionally inflate the count, since this isn't a full language model.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No, everything is counted live in your browser as you type. Nothing is uploaded.
