Questions & answers

Frequently asked

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time uses an average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute. The result is rounded up to the nearest minute.

What counts as a sentence?

Sentences are counted by splitting on ., !, and ? followed by whitespace. It is an approximation, abbreviations like 'Dr.' may cause slight overcounting.
