Adjustable WPM
Set speeds appropriate for the reader, speaker, and content difficulty.
Paste text and adjust reading or speaking speed to estimate how long an article takes to read and how long a script takes to present aloud.
Estimated time in minutes = total word count divided by words per minute (WPM).
Set speeds appropriate for the reader, speaker, and content difficulty.
Compare silent reading with slower spoken delivery.
See the source word total used by both formulas.
Reading time is an estimate based on word count and reading speed. Paste the complete text, then choose a words-per-minute rate that fits the audience and material. Straightforward consumer articles may be read quickly, while technical, legal, educational, or unfamiliar material often needs more time for interpretation.
Speaking is generally slower than silent reading because delivery includes pauses, emphasis, breathing, slide changes, demonstrations, and audience reactions. Rehearse important presentations with a timer and add a buffer for introductions, transitions, and questions. For video or podcast scripts, also account for music, visual sequences, and edits.
The estimate updates as you type and provides separate silent-reading and speaking durations. Custom speeds make the tool useful for accessibility planning, classroom materials, speeches, narration, webinars, and content-production schedules.
| Input | What it means | Planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Text | The complete content to estimate | Include headings and captions if the audience will read them. |
| Reading speed | Silent-reading words per minute | Lower the rate for technical or unfamiliar material. |
| Speaking speed | Spoken words per minute | Allow additional time for pauses and interaction. |
| Estimated time | Words divided by the selected WPM | Treat it as a planning range rather than a guarantee. |

Check whether a speech or slide narration fits the available slot.

Reading speed varies widely by reader, language, familiarity, and text complexity. Use the editable field to model your audience.
The word count is divided by the speaking words-per-minute setting.
Pauses, slide changes, questions, demonstrations, and audience interaction add time beyond spoken words.
