Reading Time

v1.0.0

Estimate reading time, speaking time, and word pace for any text

Estimates reading and speaking time for any text based on word count and adjustable words-per-minute (WPM) settings, plus basic text statistics like word count, character count, and sentence count.

How to use
  • Use 200 WPM for dense technical content and 300 WPM for light fiction or casual skimming.
  • Set speaking WPM to 130 for conference talks to allow pauses and audience comprehension.
  • Paste a full article to get accurate estimates — very short excerpts may round to zero minutes.
Enter or paste text above to estimate reading and speaking time.
