How time is calculated

Minutes = Words ÷ WPM

Defaults are 238 WPM for reading and 150 WPM for speaking. For example, 1,500 words take about 6 min 18 sec to read or 10 min to speak.

Are spaces included in the character count?

Yes. Characters includes letters, numbers, punctuation, spaces and line breaks. Without spaces removes all whitespace so you can compare both totals.

How are emoji counted?

The tool uses grapheme segmentation when the browser supports it, so most joined emoji, modifiers and accented characters count as readers see them rather than as separate code units.

How are reading and speaking time calculated?

Time equals words divided by words per minute. The defaults are 238 WPM for silent reading and 150 WPM for speaking, and you can change both rates.
