What reading speed does the calculator use?

The tools use slow (180 wpm), average (225 wpm) and fast (275 wpm) as reference speeds. These are common practical estimates for adult readers of English text. Reading speed varies by person and content complexity.

How accurate is the reading time estimate?

It is an estimate based on word count and a typical reading speed. Dense or technical content takes longer to read than simple prose. Use it as a planning guide, not a precise measurement.
