How long does this text take to read?
That "5 min read" at the top of articles isn't a guess. It comes from a calculation built on the average reading speed. This tool estimates how long a text takes to read, working from the word count and a pace in words per minute.
Alongside reading time you get the word and character count, plus an estimate of speaking time. That last one helps a lot when you're prepping a video script, a talk or a podcast and everything has to fit a slot. It's the reference bloggers, copywriters and content creators tend to keep close.
Your text doesn't go anywhere: the calculation happens in the browser, in real time. Paste the content, watch the estimates show up, and adjust the pace to suit your audience.
