Reading Time vs Speaking Time
Our tool provides both reading and speaking time estimates because they differ significantly:
- •Reading Time is calculated at approximately 225 words per minute, which is the average silent reading speed for adults
- •Speaking Time is calculated at approximately 140 words per minute, reflecting a comfortable speaking pace for presentations
These estimates help you plan content for different purposes, whether you're writing a blog post that should take 5 minutes to read or preparing a 10-minute presentation.
