Practical value for writers, creators, and teachers

Online writers use this tool to set correct reading expectations for blog posts. Video creators and podcasters use it to match script length with target video duration. Teachers, trainers, and public speakers can quickly check how long a lesson or talk might take so they can stay within time limits.

How this tool works behind the scenes

The tool counts words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs directly in your browser using simple JavaScript. It applies realistic words per minute speeds based on research and practical speaking experience. You can switch between slow, normal, and fast reading speeds, or enter a custom speed if you already know your own pace.

The same logic is applied for speaking. Slower speech is ideal for serious presentations and clear explanations, while faster speech settings are better for webinars, casual videos, or internal meetings.
