Frequently asked questions

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute, which is the average adult silent reading speed. The result is always rounded up to the nearest minute.

How is speaking time different from reading time?

Speaking time uses 130 words per minute, reflecting average conversational speech speed. This is useful for preparing presentations, speeches, or podcast scripts.

What counts as a sentence?

Sentences are detected by terminal punctuation: periods, exclamation marks, and question marks. Abbreviations may occasionally be counted as separate sentences.

What is the character limit?

The editor allows up to 100,000 characters. This comfortably fits a full novel chapter or a very long article.

What does keyword density show?

It shows the 5 most frequently used words in your text (excluding common stop words like "the", "a", "is"). This helps with SEO writing and spotting overused words.

Is my text saved anywhere?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your text is never transmitted to any server.

Can I check Twitter character limits?

Yes. The character limit checker shows real-time progress bars for Twitter/X (280), SMS (160), meta description (160), and page title (60) simultaneously.

Does it work on mobile?
