Reading Time Calculator estimates how long it takes to read a piece of text based on word count and configurable reading speed. The default speed of 238 words per minute reflects average adult silent reading speed from research studies, with adjustable speeds for different content types — technical documentation reads slower (~150 WPM) while casual content reads faster (~300 WPM). The tool also estimates speaking time for presentations at typical speaking rates of 130-150 WPM.
