About this tool

Planned: a reading-time and speech-time calculator using standard speeds (about 130 words per minute for speeches, about 238 for silent reading) with word-count input and per-speed tables. The weakest competition of the utility set — only micro-sites rank — aimed at speakers, teachers, preachers, podcasters and YouTubers timing scripts.
