Frequently Asked Questions
What is a normal reading speed?
Most adults silently read comfortable text at roughly 200 to 250 words per minute. The tool's presets reflect this: slow reading around 130 wpm for dense or unfamiliar material, normal around 200 wpm, and fast skimming around 260 wpm.
How is reading time estimated for books versus screens?
The estimate is simply the word count divided by your words-per-minute pace, and the pages figure assumes about 300 words per paperback page. Reading on a screen is often a little slower than print, so lower the pace slider if you want a more conservative estimate.
What is speaking time?
Speaking time is how long the text takes to read aloud at a conversational 130 words per minute, the pace audiobooks are usually recorded at. It is shown separately from silent reading time.
