Frequently asked questions
Is my text saved or uploaded?
Your text is never uploaded. It's saved only in this browser so it's still there if you reload, and Clear removes it.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time uses an average silent reading speed of 238 words per minute. Speaking time uses 150 words per minute, a typical presentation pace.
Why does X (Twitter) count my post differently?
X counts every link as 23 characters and some emoji and characters as 2, so its count can differ slightly from a plain character count.
