Use this for a book, a report, or a study block. Minutes = words ÷ WPM. Hours = minutes ÷ 60. 80,000 words at 250 WPM is 320 minutes, about 5.33 hours. Adult silent reading is often 200–300 WPM; a paperback page is often 250–300 words. Audio playback speed is a different tool.
Words: Total words in the text.
WPM: Your reading speed in words per minute. Must be greater than zero.
Minutes / Hours: Time to finish at that pace.
