Frequently Asked Questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated based on an average reading speed of 200-250 words per minute for adults. Actual reading time may vary based on content complexity and reader proficiency.
Does this count characters with or without spaces?
We show both! You get a count of total characters (including spaces) and characters without spaces, so you can use whichever metric you need.
How are sentences counted?
Sentences are counted by detecting periods, exclamation marks, and question marks followed by spaces or end of text. This works for most standard text.
