Reading Time Calculator - Words to Minutes, Instantly
Paste any text and get reading time at your speed, plus speaking time for presentations.
Know Your Length Before You Publish
Blog posts, newsletters, and speeches all live or die by their length. AiLoveKit's reading time calculator counts your words and converts them to time at an adjustable reading speed (100-400 wpm, default 200), plus a speaking pace of 130 wpm for talks and videos. Page equivalents assume 250 words per page.
Common Benchmarks
- Blog posts - 6-8 minutes (1,500-2,000 words) holds attention best.
- Newsletters - under 3 minutes keeps open-to-click rates high.
- Speeches - 130 words per minute, so a 5-minute talk is about 650 words.
