Inputs and calculations remain in this browser tab.

How it works

Reading time divides the word count by the chosen words-per-minute rate. The default is a general reading estimate rather than a promise for every reader or text.

Using the result

Dense technical writing, unfamiliar vocabulary, and accessibility needs can substantially change reading speed.

Important limitation

Use character counts without spaces when a platform applies a compact text limit.
