Frequently Asked Questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is calculated based on average reading speeds: Slow (100 WPM), Average (200 WPM), and Fast (300 WPM). We divide your total word count by these speeds to estimate reading time.
What's the difference between character counts?
"Characters (no spaces)" counts only letters, numbers, and punctuation. "Characters (with spaces)" includes all characters plus spaces between words.
How are paragraphs counted?
Paragraphs are counted by identifying line breaks (double newlines) in your text. Single line breaks are considered part of the same paragraph.
What is readability level?
Readability is estimated based on average sentence length and word complexity. Simple sentences and shorter words result in easier readability.
