Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool check for grammar or spelling errors?
No. This tool strictly analyzes the quantitative metrics of your text (counts). It does not provide AI rewriting, grammar checking, or proofreading.
Is my text saved anywhere?
No. The counting happens dynamically on your device's memory. Once you refresh or close the page, the text is gone forever.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated based on an average adult reading speed of approximately 225 to 250 words per minute.
