Counts words, characters, sentences and paragraphs as you type or paste, and estimates reading time at 200 words per minute — a common average for silent adult reading.
Sentence and paragraph counts use simple heuristics (splitting on . ! ? and blank lines respectively), so unusual punctuation or formatting can shift the count slightly — this is meant as a quick estimate, not a linguistic parser.

How are sentences and paragraphs counted?
Sentences are estimated by splitting on ., ! and ?; paragraphs by splitting on blank lines. Unusual punctuation or formatting can shift these counts slightly — treat them as an estimate.
