Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated based on an average adult reading speed of about 200 words per minute.
Is my text saved anywhere?
No. Everything is calculated locally in your browser and nothing is stored or sent to a server.
Is there a limit on how much text I can paste?
No hard limit — very long texts may just take a moment longer to update as you type.
