About Reading Time Calculator

This tool estimates how long a piece of writing will take to get through, in two different ways: reading it silently to yourself, and reading it aloud — useful for anything from planning how long a blog post will take readers, to timing a speech, podcast script, or presentation. Both estimates are based on words-per-minute speeds you can adjust, since reading and speaking pace vary a fair amount from person to person and depend on how dense or technical the material is.
