Frequently asked questions
How is reading time estimated?+
From the word count at an average reading speed of about 200 words per minute. It's a rough guide, not an exact figure.
How are words counted?+
By splitting the text on spaces and line breaks, so runs of whitespace don't inflate the count.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?+
No. Everything runs locally in your browser; your text never leaves your device.
