Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average reading speed?
The average adult reading speed is about 238 words per minute (wpm) for non-fiction content. This tool uses 238 wpm as the default, but you can adjust it to 150, 300, or 400 wpm to match different reading levels and content types.
Does this tool work offline?
Yes. Once the page loads, all analysis happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. No network requests are made.
How are images and code blocks factored into reading time?
Images add 12 seconds each (for visual processing), and code blocks add 6 seconds per line (for mental parsing). You can toggle these options on or off as needed.
