Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?
Using an average adult silent-reading speed of about 225 words per minute.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. It stays entirely in your browser tab's memory — nothing is sent to a server, and it disappears when you close or refresh the page.
Doing this by hand every week? That's exactly what I remove.
If this conversion is one small step in a bigger workflow — say, files arriving by email, getting converted, renamed and filed by a person every time — I build software that does the whole thing automatically. My clients get back up to 18 hours a week this way.
