Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is based on 238 words per minute — the average silent reading speed for adults. It rounds up to the nearest minute. For a dedicated reading time calculator, you can also use that standalone tool.
Does the word counter count hyphenated words as one or two?
Hyphenated words like "well-known" are counted as one word. The counter splits on whitespace, so only space-separated tokens count as separate words. To count individual characters instead, use the character counter.
Is my text private?
Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser. No data leaves your device.
What counts as a paragraph?
Paragraphs are text blocks separated by one or more blank lines.
