Frequently Asked Questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated using the average adult reading speed of 200 words per minute. For example, a 1,000-word article takes approximately 5 minutes to read.
How is speaking time calculated?
Speaking time is estimated using an average conversational speaking speed of 130 words per minute. This is useful for timing scripts for speeches, presentations, or podcasts.
What does the keyword density filter do?
The keyword density filter tallies the frequency of words in your text and calculates their percentage relative to the total word count. The stop words filter hides common structural words (such as "the", "and", "a", "of") so you can focus on major topic keywords.
Is my text sent to any servers for processing?
No. All calculations, metrics counts, case transformations, and keyword density parsing run entirely in your local browser using client-side JavaScript. We do not store, track, or transmit your text.
