Frequently asked
Is my text sent anywhere?

How is reading time calculated?
Word count divided by 225 words per minute, a commonly used average adult silent-reading speed.
How are sentences counted?
By counting groups of ., !, or ? followed by whitespace or the end of the text. It's an approximation, not true grammatical parsing.
