Questions people ask

How is reading time calculated?

Based on an average adult reading speed of about 200 words per minute. It's a good estimate for articles and scripts.

Does it count characters with or without spaces?

Both. The big number includes spaces; the small line under the box shows the count without spaces โ€” handy for tweets and meta descriptions.

Is my text saved?

No. Counting happens entirely in your browser and nothing you type is sent or stored.
