Questions and answers

How is reading time calculated?

Word count divided by 225 words per minute, a common estimate for adult silent reading of general text. Technical or unfamiliar text is usually read more slowly, so treat the figure as a guide, not an exact prediction.

How is speaking time calculated?

Word count divided by 130 words per minute, a typical pace for a presentation or a video script read aloud at a natural, unhurried speed.

How are sentences and paragraphs counted?

Sentences are counted by splitting on sentence-ending punctuation (. ! ?). Paragraphs are counted by splitting on blank lines. Both are estimates: abbreviations, decimals and unusual formatting can shift the count.

What is keyword density, and why does it matter?

It is how often each word appears, shown as a percentage of all counted words. Common function words (the, and, a...) can be excluded so the list reflects the topic words instead. It is useful for checking that a page does not repeat one keyword unnaturally, not a ranking factor by itself.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. Counting runs entirely in your browser as you type. Nothing is sent to a server or saved.
