Frequently asked questions

How is reading time calculated?

We divide your word count by 200 words per minute, the average silent reading speed for adults.

Does it count characters without spaces?

Yes — you get both totals, plus sentence and paragraph counts and a keyword density table.

Is there a word limit?

No. Everything is computed in your browser, so it works on documents of any length.
