Estimate reading or speech time from text and your chosen words-per-minute rate.
Preparing your tool…
How it works
Count word-like segments with Intl.Segmenter where supported, then divide by your selected rate.
Example
At 200 words per minute, 1,000 words take an estimated five minutes.
What should I check before using the result?
An estimate. Language segmentation, delivery, comprehension and pauses change actual timing.
