FAQ
- Does this tool upload my text anywhere?
- No. Everything runs in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server.
- How is reading time calculated?
- Word count divided by 200 words per minute, rounded up to the nearest minute.
- Is there a limit on how much text I can paste?
- No fixed limit — the counter runs in your browser, so it scales with your device, not a server quota.
