Questions
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The counter runs entirely in your browser; your text never leaves your device.
How is reading time calculated?
Using illustrative rates of 225 words per minute for reading and 150 for speaking. These are estimates, not a measurement of your pace.
Does it count words in Indian languages?
Words are counted as whitespace-separated groups, including Tamil and Hindi text. Text without spaces needs a language-specific word segmenter; this utility does not provide one.
