What's the difference between "Characters" and "No Spaces"?

"Characters" counts every character including spaces and punctuation. "No Spaces" counts only visible characters, excluding spaces. Use "No Spaces" for precise character limits in platforms that ignore spacing.

How are reading and speaking time calculated?

Reading time is based on an average reading speed of 200 words per minute. Speaking time assumes 130 words per minute. These are industry-standard averages; actual times may vary based on content complexity and individual reading/speaking pace.
