FAQ
How are words counted?
Words are detected with your browser’s language-aware text segmentation, so hyphenated words, numbers and many non-English languages (including Hindi) are counted correctly. Punctuation is not counted as a word.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time assumes 238 words per minute; speaking time assumes 150 words per minute.
