Runs on your device. Nothing is sent to a server. Reading time at 225 words per minute, speaking at 150.

How it works

Paste or type. Counts update on every keystroke. Characters are counted with and without spaces, which matters for X posts, meta descriptions and application forms.

Reading time assumes 225 words a minute, speaking time 150, the usual figures for adult readers and presenters.

Questions

How are words counted?

Anything separated by spaces or line breaks counts as a word, the same rule Microsoft Word uses.

Does it work with Arabic, Urdu or Hindi text?

Yes. Characters are counted per letter, not per byte, so every script is counted correctly.
