When reading time matters

Reading time is helpful for blog posts, scripts, onboarding guides, training material, and newsletters. It helps readers decide whether to start now or save a page for later.

How reading time is calculated

Reading time is calculated by dividing the total word count by the average reading speed. For English text, a speed of 200-250 words per minute is used for silent reading, and 130-150 words per minute for speaking.

Reference speeds

Fast reading: 300-400 words per minute.
Normal reading: 200-250 words per minute.
Detailed reading: 150-200 words per minute.
Speaking: 130-150 words per minute.
Audiobook: 150-160 words per minute.
Presentation: 120-150 words per minute.

What it's useful for

Reading time calculation is useful for blogs, video scripts, presentations, podcasts, and emails. Many websites display reading time at the start of an article to help readers decide whether to read it.

Frequently asked questions

Is 200 wpm accurate? It's an average. Actual speed varies by reader, content complexity, and language. For technical content, use 150 wpm; for casual reading, 250 wpm.

Can I change the speed? The default is 200 wpm. For custom calculations, multiply word count by your target wpm.
