How to Use the Time to Words Tool
This tool is designed to give you a quick and accurate estimate of how many words you can read in a given amount of time. Simply enter the number of minutes and seconds in the input fields.
Once you've set the time, you can select whether you'll be reading the text "aloud" or "silently." You can then choose from three different reading speeds (slow, average, fast) to get a more precise estimate. The final result is displayed clearly below.
