Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?+
Reading time is estimated at around 200–230 words per minute, the average adult reading speed, so it's a reliable guide for blog posts and scripts.
Is my text stored anywhere?+
No. Everything is counted in your browser as you type — nothing is sent to a server or saved, so drafts and private notes stay private.
