Frequently asked questions
How is a word counted?
Any run of characters separated by whitespace counts as one word. Hyphenated words such as "well-known" count as a single word, matching how most word processors behave.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time assumes 225 words per minute, a common average for adult silent reading. Speaking time assumes 130 words per minute.
Is my text stored?
No. The text stays in the page. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is saved unless you copy it yourself.
