Frequently asked questions
No. Everything happens in your browser, and nothing is sent anywhere - not even to check a word count.
Yes. Word and character counting work correctly for every language this site supports, including all Arabic variants. Reading-level scoring (like Flesch-Kincaid) is English-only and isn't offered here, since there's no reliable equivalent for other languages.
Reading time uses 200 words per minute, and speaking time uses 130 words per minute - both common estimates for silent reading and spoken pace.
The tool works best under 200,000 characters. Longer text is still counted correctly, it may just update a little more slowly.
