Frequently asked questions
How is reading time worked out?
At 238 words per minute, the average adult reading speed. Speaking time uses 150 words per minute.
Do emoji count as one character?
Here, yes: every symbol you see counts once. X counts some emoji as two and every link as 23, so its count can differ a little.
Is my text saved or sent anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser.
