Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, which is the average adult silent reading speed. Technical content may take longer; simple text may be faster.
Does it count the same way as Microsoft Word?
Very closely. Like Word, this counter treats hyphenated words as one word and numbers as words. Minor differences may occur with special characters or URLs.
Does it work with non-English text?
Yes for any Latin-script language. For languages without spaces like Chinese or Japanese, character count is more meaningful than word count.
Is there an input size limit?
No hard limit — it runs entirely in your browser. Very long documents may be slightly slower to process but will still work.
