Frequently Asked Questions
How are words counted?
Words are sequences of non-whitespace characters separated by spaces, tabs, or newlines. Hyphenated words like "well-known" count as one word.
How is reading time calculated?
Based on the average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute. This is an estimate — technical content or complex prose is typically read at 100–150 wpm.
Does this tool store my text?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your text is never sent to a server and is not retained after you close the tab.
Is my data private?
