How accurate are the reading level and time estimates?

Our reading level is calculated using a simplified Flesch-Kincaid formula, based on sentence length and word complexity, targeting 7th-8th grade readability for blogs. Reading time assumes 200 words per minute, and speaking time uses 130 words per minute—standard benchmarks. These estimates are highly accurate for general purposes, but individual reading or speaking speeds may vary slightly.

Does Count My Words store my text or personal information?

No, we don’t store your text input. Count My Words processes your data in real-time for analysis and doesn’t save or share it. We only collect non-personal usage analytics (e.g., browser type) to improve our site. Review our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.
