Frequently asked questions
- How is reading time calculated?
- We use an average silent reading speed of 200 words per minute, which is typical for adult readers on general-interest text. Technical writing usually reads slower.
- Is my text saved anywhere?
- No. The counter runs fully inside your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server, logged or stored, and closing the tab clears everything.
- How are sentences counted?
- A sentence is counted each time the text ends a run with a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark. Abbreviations like 'Dr.' can occasionally inflate the count.
