Reading time is calculated as words ÷ words-per-minute. Typical reading speeds: slow 150 wpm, average 200 wpm, fast 250 wpm.

For audio narration or presentations, speaking speed (around 130 wpm) gives more realistic estimates.

Use the custom-speed slider to compute time at any reading speed from 50 to 500 wpm.

t im e = \frac{w or d s}{w p m}

What reading speeds are typical?

Average adults read 200–300 words per minute. Slow readers and complex material: 150 wpm. Skimming: 400+ wpm.

How is speaking time different?

Conversational speaking is around 130 wpm; broadcast and audiobook narration around 150 wpm.
