Reading is an important task. Reading efficiently can improve learning and information processing. Busy schedules also mean it is important to discern how much time you should dedicate to a single piece of writing. However, not every piece of writing is written to the same complexity, so a regular words per minute measurement can be vague. That’s where Originality.ai’s new Reading Time Calculator comes in!
When learning something new, it can be challenging to even know where to begin. Subjects can be broken down into smaller topics, and in many cases, there are previous subjects you should be familiar with before advancing to the next part of the curriculum. Originality.ai’s Learning Guide Generator can help you jumpstart your learning experience. Skip the confusion and get the tutoring support you need on your academic journey!
Scheduling while in school can be a challenge. You have to think about in-class time, extracurricular activities, and rest. Between all that, it can be difficult to judge how much time you need to study and what to study in a given week. That is where our Study Schedule Generator comes in!

See Final Results
See Final Results: You’ll be presented with how many questions you answered correctly. You can then see our tool’s suggestions for your reading speed, as well as the estimated time for reading the overall text.
Unlike other similar tools, our tool is powered by AI, allowing it to intelligently discern your words per minute and thereby the total reading time of your text.
Originality.ai’s new Reading Time Calculator is:
Other Reading Time Calculators are very static and basic. You add your text and have to adjust the words per minute manually.
Oftentimes, these tools do not have a way to get your WPM, so you’ll need to use another tool. In that case, the tool may use a preset text. This text may not be of the same complexity as the text you’re about to read, and so it could give an inaccurate estimate of your WPM and reading time.
Our tool is different; with thorough testing and AI assistance, we’re able to provide the most realistic reading times.
The Reading Time Calculator has two modes.
In this mode, you simply add your reading material, and some default WPM parameters will be set. You can adjust as needed if you already know your reading speed. Immediately, you’ll be presented with the estimated reading time based on that WPM.
You similarly add your reading material, and then you’ll click ‘Start Reading Test’. A timer will appear, and you’ll need to read the highlighted section of your reading material. Once finished reading, you will click the ‘Stop Reading’ button. You’ll then have a more accurate WPM.
Then, you can check reading comprehension by answering some questions about the text generated by GPT-4o-mini. Based on your correct answer rate, our tool will present suggestions on adjusting your reading speed if needed.
The Originality.ai Reading Time Calculator tool isn’t just another basic tool. It’s packed with extra features that make it a must-use for any teacher, student, marketer, or researcher.
Time is a valuable resource; get estimated reading times for long reading material so that you can schedule time accordingly.
By using our Reading Time Calculator, you’ll optimize your time and streamline your workflow.
