Frequently Asked Questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated at 200 words per minute (average adult silent reading speed). Speaking time uses 130 words per minute (average conversational speaking pace).

Sentences are counted by splitting on terminal punctuation (., !, ?) followed by a space or end of text. This handles most common cases accurately.
