Reading time is calculated based on an average silent reading speed of ~200-250 words per minute, while speaking time assumes a speech pace of ~130-150 words per minute.
Does this counter handle mixed multilingual text accurately?

Can I safely paste private articles or confidential drafts?
Yes. All text processing occurs completely in your browser without transmitting any payload over the network, ensuring strict confidentiality.
