Frequently asked questions
How are words counted?+
Words are counted by splitting your text on spaces and line breaks, so any run of non-space characters counts as one word. Everything updates live as you type.
Is my text sent anywhere?+
No. The counting happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, stored or shared.
How is reading time estimated?+
Reading time assumes about 200 words per minute and speaking time about 130 words per minute. These are rough averages and vary from person to person.
