Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?
From an average silent reading speed of roughly 200 to 250 words per minute. Speaking time uses a slower rate, closer to 130 words per minute.
Does it count characters with spaces?
Both are shown. Character limits on social platforms normally include spaces, while typesetting and translation quotes usually exclude them.
Is my text stored?
No. Nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is saved. Closing the tab discards the text entirely.
