Frequently asked questions

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time assumes an average adult pace of 230 words per minute; speaking time assumes 130 words per minute.

Does it count emoji and accented letters correctly?

Yes. Characters are counted as Unicode code points, so an emoji counts as one character. The byte count shows the UTF-8 size.
