Frequently Asked Questions
How is the reading time calculated here?
It assumes 200 words per minute and converts that to seconds, then rounds up. Very short text will still show at least a few seconds instead of `0s` once a word exists.
What counts as a word, sentence, and paragraph?
Words are split on whitespace, sentences are split on runs of `.`, `!`, or `?`, and paragraphs are split on blank lines. If you have any non-empty text at all, the paragraph count is at least 1.
Why are the top words missing things like `AI`, `C++`, or emoji?
The frequency list lowercases each token, strips anything that is not `a-z` or `0-9`, and ignores cleaned words shorter than 3 characters. The main counts still include your text; that filtering only affects the top-10 frequency panel.
What is the difference between Characters and No Spaces?
Characters is the raw string length including whitespace. No Spaces removes all whitespace first, so it is closer to a compact character count for pasted copy.
Does the tool update in real time or only after I click something?
It updates live on every input event. The stats cards and the top-word bars recalculate immediately as you type or paste.
