About this tool
This free reading time estimator updates live as you type. It calculates how long your text takes to read or speak aloud, and gives you a complexity breakdown based on sentence length.
Reading speeds: Slow readers average ~150 wpm, most adults read at ~200 wpm, and fast readers reach ~300 wpm. Speaking time is fixed at 130 wpm, suitable for presentations and narration.
Reading level is based on average sentence length: under 10 words per sentence is Easy, 10–20 is Medium, and over 20 is Complex.
