Frequently asked questions
▸How is reading time calculated?
We estimate 200 words per minute and round up. Speaking time uses a slower pace, so presentations get a more realistic estimate.
▸Is my text uploaded to a server?
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser and the text never leaves your device, so it's safe for drafts and private notes.
▸What counts as a word?
Any sequence of characters separated by spaces. Sentences are counted by periods, question marks and exclamation marks.
