Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?+
Based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute. Actual speed varies a lot by reader and content.
Does it count characters with or without spaces?+
Both are shown separately, since different platforms (X, meta descriptions, form fields) count differently.
What counts as a sentence?+
Text ending in a period, question mark, or exclamation point. Abbreviations like "e.g." can occasionally throw the count off by one.
