Reading time
Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 225 words per minute, the average adult silent reading speed for general prose. Technical material is often read more slowly.
What counts as a word?
Any sequence of characters separated by spaces or line breaks. Hyphenated words like “state-of-the-art” count as one word, consistent with most word processors.
Is there a limit on text length?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your text is never uploaded to a server, no matter how long it is.
