How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is estimated based on an average reading speed of 238 words per minute for adults. Speaking time is based on 150 words per minute. These are average values and may vary by reader.

Does it count special characters?

Yes. The character count includes all characters including spaces, punctuation, and special symbols. The "No Spaces" count excludes all whitespace characters.

Can I check character limits for social media?

Yes! The tool shows progress bars for Twitter (280 characters), Instagram captions (2,200 characters), and LinkedIn posts (3,000 characters). The bar turns yellow at 80% and red when you exceed the limit.
