About this tool
Based on commonly cited average rates: 200 words per minute for silent adult reading, 130 wpm for natural spoken pace, and 100 wpm for slower, deliberate speech (like a formal presentation). Individual pace varies quite a bit, so treat these as a starting estimate rather than an exact figure.
