Common questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated using an average adult silent-reading speed of 225 words per minute. This is a widely accepted standard used by major publishing platforms like Medium.
Does the word counter support multiple languages?
Yes. The counter works with any language that uses whitespace-separated words, including English, Spanish, French, German, and most European languages. For languages like Chinese or Japanese that don't use spaces, character count is more relevant.
Is my text stored or uploaded anywhere?
No. All counting happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device and is not stored, logged, or transmitted to any server.
