FAQ
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, which is the average adult reading speed. Academic and technical content is typically read slower (150 wpm); casual content faster (250+ wpm).
How are sentences counted?
Sentences are detected by terminal punctuation: periods (.), exclamation marks (!), and question marks (?). Abbreviations may occasionally be counted as sentence endings.
What are the keyword exclusions?
Common stop words (the, a, and, is, etc.) are excluded from keyword frequency to highlight the meaningful words in your text.
Is there a character or word limit?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser and can handle any amount of text your browser memory supports — from tweets to full novels.
