About this reading time calculator
Estimate how long an article, newsletter, speech, or script will take to read using a simple words-per-minute setting.
Mavis Tools is built for quick utility work: paste the input, get the result, and move on. The page is static-first for speed, and the interactive work happens in your browser. That makes it useful for drafts, calculations, debugging snippets, and repeat everyday tasks.
This tool is intentionally focused. It does one job clearly instead of asking for an account or hiding the result behind a long workflow. Bookmark it if you need a fast reading time calculator that works on desktop and mobile.
