📘 How It Works
Time Calculation
Reading time = Word count ÷ Words per minute. A 5000-word article at 200 wpm takes 25 minutes.
Speed Presets
Slow (150 wpm), Average (200 wpm), Fast (250 wpm), Speed reader (300 wpm). Choose your typical speed.
Hour-Minute Formatting
Results show hours and minutes for longer content. '2h 30m' is clearer than '150 minutes'.
Page Estimation
Approximate page count uses 250 words/page standard. Helps visualize document length.
Adjustable Parameters
Customize reading speed based on content type. Technical content may warrant slower speeds.
