FAQ

How are words counted?

Any run of characters separated by spaces counts as a word, so standalone numbers and symbols count too.

How are sentences counted?

By ending marks: full stops, exclamation marks, and English or Arabic question marks. Text without punctuation shows zero sentences.

Is the reading time accurate?

It is an estimate based on 200 words per minute; real reading speed varies.
