Frequently asked questions
Is the text I paste sent to a server?
No. All counting happens locally in your browser; the text never leaves your computer.
How is reading time calculated?
We use an average of 200 words per minute, a common reading pace for adults on ordinary text.
Does the counter tell sentences apart when abbreviations are used?
Sentence counting relies on punctuation (., !, ?) and can be thrown off by abbreviations or acronyms.
