Enter a word count to estimate reading time.
How to use
- Paste text to count its words automatically, or type a word count directly (a typical novel page holds about 250 to 300 words).
- Set your reading speed — average adults read 200 to 250 words per minute silently.
- See the total reading time, speaking time, and how many days at your daily habit.
Speaking (reading aloud) averages about 130 to 150 words per minute. Dense study material is often read at 100 to 150 words per minute with notes, so lower the speed for textbooks.
