Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?
We use an average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute and round up to the nearest minute.
Does this count spaces as characters?
The "Characters" stat includes spaces; use "No spaces" for a count without them.
Is there a limit to how much text I can paste?
No hard limit — very large documents may just take a moment longer to update.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser; nothing you type is uploaded.
