How the numbers are calculated
- Words are groups of characters separated by spaces or line breaks.
- Sentences end with a period, question mark, or exclamation mark.
- Paragraphs are blocks of text separated by a line break.
- Reading time assumes about 200 words per minute, and speaking time about 130 words per minute.
- Readability uses the Flesch reading ease formula, with syllables estimated from spelling, so treat it as a guide.
