Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?+
At an average adult pace of about 200 words per minute for silent reading, and slower for speaking aloud.
Does it count characters with or without spaces?+
Both are shown, because platforms differ: some limits count every character, others ignore spaces.
Is my text stored?+
No. Counting happens locally; closing the tab erases everything.
