How is the sentence count calculated, is it always accurate?

The sentence count is estimated based on sentence-ending punctuation like periods, exclamation points, and question marks; abbreviations and similar special cases can cause slight deviations.

How is the reading time estimate calculated?

Assuming an average adult reads about 200 words per minute, the text's total word count is divided by that rate and rounded to the nearest minute.

What's the point of showing character counts with and without spaces?

Some platforms count character limits including spaces while others exclude them; seeing both helps you fit different platform constraints.

Is the text I type saved anywhere?

No, all counting happens instantly in your browser; the text you type is never sent to or saved on any server.
