Estimate Reading Time

Adding an estimated reading time to your articles helps set expectations for your readers, which has been shown to improve engagement and reduce bounce rates.

Use this tool to calculate exactly how long it will take an average person to read your text. You can even adjust the words-per-minute (WPM) setting to account for complex technical content (slower reading) or simple news updates (faster reading).
