How are words, sentences, and paragraphs defined by the counter?

Words are counted by splitting text on whitespace sequences. Characters are measured with and without spaces. Sentences are counted using regular expressions that look for punctuation marks (. ! ?) followed by spaces or the end of the text. Paragraphs are counted by splitting the text at line breaks.

How are reading and speaking times calculated?

The tool uses standard speech and reading statistics: reading time is calculated using an average reading speed of 200 words per minute (WPM), and speaking time is calculated at an average speed of 130 words per minute.
