UNDERSTAND THE HOW

More than a result. An explanation.

We count words using browser language segmentation, Unicode code points and paragraphs. Reading time uses a 200 words per minute estimate.

reading (min) ≈ words / 200
Assumptions and limitations

Reading pace varies. Characters are code points; a compound emoji may count more than once. Maximum 100,000 characters.

A simple example

“Hello world” contains 2 words and 11 characters.

Are my inputs stored?

No. Processing stays in your browser. Only tool IDs and timestamps are kept in your recent history; password generation is excluded.
