Estimate reading time from word count and a reading speed you choose.
Result: Paste text and choose a reading speed.
How the estimate works
The calculator counts whitespace-separated word-like tokens and divides that count by your selected words-per-minute speed. The result is an estimate, not a measured reading time.
Reading speed varies
Actual reading time depends on language, difficulty, familiarity, layout, accessibility needs, skimming behavior and whether the reader pauses to study tables, code or images.
