Frequently Asked Questions
How are reading time and speaking time calculated?
Reading time is calculated using the adult silent reading average of 200 words per minute (WPM), while speaking time uses the natural presentation pace of 130 words per minute.
Does this word counter exclude stop words in the keyword density breakdown?
Yes. Common filler words (such as 'the', 'and', 'is', 'to', 'in') are filtered out of the keyword density list so you only see meaningful topical terms.
What are the character limits for major social media platforms?
Standard posts are capped at 280 characters on X (free tier), 3,000 characters on LinkedIn posts, 2,200 characters on Instagram captions, and around 155–160 characters for Google meta descriptions.
