Calculation Methodology & Formula
Analyzes text tokens using Unicode word boundary matching. Reading time is computed using the cognitive standard of 225 words per minute (wpm). Speaking time is computed at 130 wpm.
Reading Time = Words / 225 wpm | Speaking Time = Words / 130 wpmWorked Example: Standard Editorial Article Draft
500-word newsletter introduction with 3 paragraphs.
500 words divided by average 225 wpm adult reading velocity equals 2.2 minutes.
Technical Constraints & Limitations
- Reading speed averages adult comprehension; technical code or dense legal documents require additional cognitive time.
- Hyphenated compound words are matched as single composite tokens.
