Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?⌄
We use 200 words per minute, a commonly cited average adult silent-reading speed, rounded up to at least 1 minute for any non-empty text.
Does this count words the same way as Word or Google Docs?⌄
Very close — words are counted as whitespace-separated tokens, which is what most word processors use too. Small differences can appear around hyphenated words or numbers with punctuation.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?⌄
No — everything runs in your browser with plain JavaScript. Nothing you type is ever sent to a server.
