Frequently asked questions

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. All counting happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so even sensitive drafts stay private.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time assumes 225 words per minute, the average adult silent reading speed for non-technical prose. Speaking time assumes 130 words per minute, a comfortable presentation pace.

How are sentences counted?

Sentences are counted by terminal punctuation (period, question mark, exclamation point). Abbreviations like "Dr." or "e.g." can inflate the count slightly — treat it as an estimate.
