Overview

About Reading Time Calculator

Reading Time Calculator counts whitespace-separated words, estimates reading at 200 words per minute and speaking at 130 words per minute, rounding each result up to at least one minute. Use it for rough content planning. It does not account for language, technical density, pauses, visuals or accessibility needs. Empty input still displays one minute because of the minimum. For example, 400 words estimates two reading minutes and four speaking minutes. Counting stays local; measure a real sample for precise presentation timing.
