FAQ
- How accurate is the reading time estimate?
- It assumes an average speed of 200 words per minute. Adjust manually if your audience reads faster or slower.
- Why do paragraphs show as zero?
- Paragraphs are counted when separated by blank lines. Add double line breaks to ensure they are detected.
- Does punctuation affect word counts?
- Words are split on whitespace, so punctuation attached to words stays with them but still counts as a word.
