Estimate reading time
Estimate reading time from word count and your chosen reading speed.
Input & settings
How to use this tool
Paste your text and select an average reading speed in words per minute. The tool estimates how long the text may take to read.
Limits and behavior
Abbreviations and informal punctuation can make sentence boundaries ambiguous. This is a segmentation count, not a grammar analysis. Input is limited to 1 MB and output to 3 MB. No input content is saved by CraftAI.
Reading time calculator for articles and essays
Estimate how many minutes a reader may spend on pasted text. This reading time calculator uses its word count and the reading speed you select, making it useful for blog posts, scripts and lessons.
Is estimated reading time exact?
No. Reading speed differs by person, language and subject matter. Change the reading-speed setting if your audience reads technical or complex material.
