Frequently asked questions
How is reading time estimated?
At roughly 200 words per minute, the average pace for adults reading light prose. Treat it as a guide, not a rule.
Does the counter store my text?
No. Everything is computed locally in your browser and disappears when you clear the field.
What counts as a word?
Any run of characters separated by whitespace — so “don’t” is one word, “ice cream” is two, and a URL with no spaces is also one word.
How is speaking time estimated?
At roughly 150 words per minute, a comfortable pace for spoken delivery. Use it as a guide when preparing talks or voice-overs.
