How Reading Time is Calculated
Reading time is estimated based on your word count and a standard reading speed. The average adult reads silently at about 238 words per minute. Slow readers average around 150 wpm and fast readers around 350 wpm.
Speaking time is calculated at 130 words per minute — the typical pace for a clear, comfortable public presentation. This is especially useful for students preparing presentations, speeches, or oral exams.
Use the reading speed selector to match your personal pace for more accurate estimates.
