Overview
Calculate the estimated reading time for selected text or total word count.
Ideal for voice actors, audiobook narrators, and scriptwriters, this extension offers an easy way to calculate the average time required to read a script aloud. By default, it uses a pace of 155 words per minute (wpm), but you can easily customize this rate to match your reading speed or personal preference. How to Use: -For known word counts: Simply highlight the number, right-click, and select "Brad's Reading Time Calculator" from the context menu to get the estimated reading time. -For full texts: Highlight the script text, right-click, and choose "Brad's Reading Time Calculator" to discover both the total word count and the estimated reading time. Customizable Settings: Adjust the words per minute (wpm) to your speaking pace directly from the extension's popup, allowing for a more accurate calculation tailored to your specific needs. Please Note: Factors such as your speaking pace, the presence of acronyms, and how numbers are expressed (numerically vs. text) can affect the actual reading time. These elements might make the reading take longer than the estimated time provided by this tool. For more insights and tips, visit https://bradhuffmanvoice.com/tools

When selecting fewer text it says 3 mins. When selecting more text it says 2 mins. NOT accurate. General other Cons: - Does not break down read time to: minutes and seconds, It just rounds it to the nearest minute. - Cannot determine / configure read speed.

Thanks for the feedback, Ashish! I haven't been able to recreate the issues with accuracy you mentioned above, but I'm happy to say I already had your other concerns on my roadmap. The newest version 1.3 will allow users to adjust read time, and show the estimated read time in Hours, Minutes, and Seconds. If you have more info on your accuracy conerns or an example, I'd be happy to dig into that as well! Thanks again, and let me know if you get a chance to try the new version!
