Frequently asked questions

How is reading time calculated?

It's estimated at about 200 words per minute, a common average adult silent-reading speed, rounded up to the nearest minute.

How does it count sentences?

It counts groups of text ending in ., ! or ?. Abbreviations or unusual punctuation can occasionally throw the count off by one or two, it's an estimate, not a grammar parser.

Does it save or send my text anywhere?

No, counting happens instantly in your browser as you type. Nothing is sent to a server.
