Measure your real reading speed by content type, then estimate exactly how long any text will take to read.
Most reading calculators guess with a generic average. MyReadingSpeed lets you test your actual speed by genre (fiction, academic, technical, legal, and more), then converts word count into realistic reading time. Free, no signup.

3I built MyReadingSpeed because most reading time calculators use one generic number (usually 200–300 WPM), which is often inaccurate. Reading speed changes a lot by content type. Fiction, academic papers, technical docs, and legal text are not read at the same pace. So I made a tool that first measures your actual reading speed by genre, then uses that to estimate realistic reading time. It’s free, no signup, and works directly in the browser. If you want to try: - Main tool: https://myreadingspeed.top/ - Genre benchmarks: https://myreadingspeed.top/average-reading-speed-by-genre - Words-to-time table: https://myreadingspeed.top/words-to-reading-time-calculator Would love feedback on accuracy and UX.
luck takes work
This is a simple but very useful idea, congrats! Are you planning to add features like comprehension checks or progress tracking over time? That could make it even more useful as a learning tool.
