Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?
We use 200 words per minute, the average adult reading speed. Some use 250 WPM for online content. Speaking time uses 150 WPM, typical for presentations.
Do spaces count as characters?
We show both counts. Most platforms (Twitter, SMS) count spaces. Character limits for databases or forms may or may not include spaces—check your specific requirements.
What's a good blog post length?
1500-2500 words for SEO-focused content. How-to guides often perform better at 2000+ words. Social media posts vary: Twitter 280 chars, LinkedIn 3000 chars, Instagram captions 2200 chars.
