What is a Calculateur de temps de lecture?
The "X min read" label under a blog title is usually just word count divided by an assumed reading speed — this does that math for you at 200 words per minute, the commonly cited average adult silent-reading pace, so you can add an accurate estimate to a post before publishing.
How to use the Calculateur de temps de lecture
- Paste your article or draft
- It's divided by an average reading speed, instantly on your device
- Use the estimate as a "X min read" byline
Example
A 1,200-word article comes out to a 6-minute read at 200 wpm — paste your draft in to get the exact figure for your word count.
Frequently asked questions
What reading speed does this assume?
200 words per minute — the commonly cited average adult silent-reading speed. A faster or slower reader will take a different amount of actual time.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No — Calculateur de temps de lecture runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript/WebAssembly. Your text is never sent to a server.
Can I adjust the 200 wpm assumption for a slower or faster reader?
Not currently — 200 wpm is fixed as the commonly cited average adult silent-reading pace. For a rough adjustment, scale the result manually: a reader at 250 wpm finishes in about 80% of the shown time.
