Reading and speaking speeds are common published averages, not measurements of you. Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent or stored.

How it works

Words are runs of text separated by whitespace. Sentences end at a full stop, exclamation mark or question mark. Paragraphs are blocks separated by one or more blank lines. Characters are counted as the text is typed, so a line break counts as one character.
