FAQ

How is reading time calculated?

At an average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute, rounded up to the nearest minute.

What counts as a sentence?

Text is split on full stops, exclamation marks, and question marks. Abbreviations and ellipses may slightly inflate the count.

Are characters counted with or without spaces?

Both. The main figure includes spaces; the smaller number below it shows characters with all spaces removed.
