๐Ÿ“– Reading Time Estimator

๐Ÿ”’ ๅฎ‰ๅ…จ & ็”จๆˆถ็ซฏ่™•็†

Paste text or enter a word count to estimate how long it'll take to read at your chosen speed. Default 250 WPM is a typical adult silent-reading pace; pick 150 for spoken/podcast pacing or 300+ for skimming.

How to use

  1. Paste the text you want to estimate. The calculator counts words automatically (whitespace-split, ignoring extra spacing).
  2. Adjust the words-per-minute (WPM) speed. Common targets:
    • 150 WPM โ€” comfortable spoken / podcast pace
    • 250 WPM โ€” average silent reading (default)
    • 400 WPM โ€” skimming / fast reading
  3. Click Estimate. Both reading time and a separate spoken-time estimate (at 150 WPM) are shown.

Most blog platforms use 200โ€“250 WPM. For audio scripts (podcasts, voiceovers, talks), use 130โ€“160 WPM โ€” slow enough to be clearly understood out loud.
