How is reading time calculated for mixed languages?

Korean characters use a per-character rate, and English uses a per-word rate. The results are combined for mixed text.

What are the reading speed presets?

Slow (150 WPM / 300 Korean chars), Normal (200 WPM / 400 Korean chars), Fast (250 WPM / 500 Korean chars). Choose the one that matches your speaking pace.

What is the YouTube description character limit?

YouTube allows up to 5,000 characters. Turn on the YouTube toggle to see how many characters remain.

Can I load a TXT file?

Yes. Click the "Load TXT" button to open a text file. Its contents fill the input field automatically.

How are lines counted?

Lines are counted by line breaks (Enter key). Empty lines count as one line each.

How are words counted?

Words are split by whitespace (spaces, tabs, line breaks). For example, "hello world 123" is 3 words.

Are my files sent to a server?
