Frequently asked questions

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time assumes about 220 words per minute and speaking time about 140 words per minute, which are typical averages for adults.

Does it count emojis and accented letters correctly?

Yes. Characters are counted as you see them on screen, so an emoji or a letter with an accent counts as one character.
