FAQ

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time uses roughly 200 words per minute with a one-minute minimum.

Does punctuation count as a word?

Words are split on whitespace, so punctuation stays attached to adjacent words.

Can I count characters only?

Yes. Use the Character Counter for detailed character totals.
