Reading Time Calculator — free online
You've written something and you wonder: how long will this take to read? Maybe it's a blog post, a school essay, or a speech you have to give out loud and you're worried it runs too long. Counting it in your head never works. We added a free tool that does it for you — Reading Time Calculator — right in your browser.
What it does
Paste any text and it estimates two things: how long it takes to read, and how long it takes to say out loud. The answer appears the moment you paste, so you can trim a few sentences and watch the time change right away.
Nothing leaves your device
The whole thing runs in your browser. Your text isn't uploaded anywhere, nothing is saved, and nobody sees what you paste. When you close the page, it's gone.
How to use it
- Open Reading Time Calculator and paste your text into the box.
- Read the reading time and the speaking time it shows.
- Trim or add as needed until the time fits, then use the result.
It's free with no limit. There are more small tools on the Apps page.
