    Reading Time Calculator

    Estimate how long an article takes to read. Useful for meta info and content planning.

    Why display reading time?

    Showing "5 min read" at the top of a post sets expectations, increases engagement, and correlates with lower bounce rate. It's also useful metadata for internal tooling and dashboards.

    How to use it

    1. Paste your article text.
    2. See the estimated reading time (based on ~230 words per minute).
    3. Adjust the WPM slider for your audience.
