This free reading time estimator counts the words and sentences in your text and converts them into an estimated reading time and speaking time. The default reading speed of 238 words per minute reflects the average adult silent reading pace, while 130 words per minute is a comfortable speaking rate for presentations. Adjust both to match your audience. Everything is calculated in your browser.
