Estimate how long it takes to read any text
The Reading Time Estimator calculates how long it takes to read any text based on adjustable reading speed (slow, average, fast, or custom WPM). Get word count, sentence count, paragraph count, page estimate, and a per-paragraph breakdown.
Zero server lag. All calculations run locally on your device for maximum speed.
