Estimate Reading Time for an Article

Use this when you want to show “5 min read” on a blog post or newsletter.

Steps
  1. Paste the article text.
  2. Read the Reading time.
  3. Check the Words count if you want to work it out at another speed.
Good to know
  • Reading time assumes 200 words per minute and rounds up to whole minutes.
  • It is silent reading time, not how long the text takes to read aloud.
