Reading time
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The counting happens entirely in your browser — your text never leaves your device.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time uses an average silent-reading speed of 238 words per minute, rounded to sensible units (seconds, minutes, hours).
Do spaces count as characters?
The Characters figure includes spaces and punctuation; Characters (no spaces) counts letters, digits and punctuation only.
What counts as a word?
Any run of non-whitespace characters separated by spaces, line breaks or tabs — the same rule most word processors use.
