IconVault's Reading Time calculator goes beyond a single number. Paste your article to get reading time at your own words-per-minute, speaking time for narration or video scripts, and a per-section breakdown that shows which headings run long. It is free and runs fully in your browser.

The tool also scores readability with Flesch Reading Ease and grade level, gives you a plain-English verdict on density, and generates a Medium-style "min read" badge as a downloadable SVG for your article header. Tune the speed sliders to match your audience, from skimmers to careful readers.
