Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?+
Reading time uses an average of 230 words per minute and audiobook length uses 150 words per minute, both derived from the full extracted text of the book.
Is the word count accurate?+
It counts the real reading text after stripping HTML markup, so it closely matches what word processors report — far more accurate than a file-size estimate.
Is it free to use?+
Yes — it is completely free with no sign-up, no account and no usage limits. There is no watermark and no paywall, so you can process as many files as you like.
Is my data private and secure?+
Yes. This tool runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript — your data is never uploaded to a server, stored or logged. Once the page has loaded you can even use it offline, which makes it safe for confidential or proprietary files.
