Frequently asked questions
How is reading time estimated?
It's based on an average adult reading speed, typically around 200 to 250 words per minute, applied to your word count. Actual reading time varies by content difficulty and reader.
Is my text sent anywhere when I paste it in?
No — the count happens entirely in your browser; the text you paste never leaves your device.
