BATCH / ONE VALUE PER LINE
Up to 200 lines, one at a time, in this browser. Each line takes the place of text and everything else stays as you set it. Nothing is uploaded, and the row limit is not exceeded silently.
METHOD / LOCAL RUN
Estimated minutes = whitespace-separated word count ÷ selected words per minute. The UI presents the selected rate with the result.
Boundary: Reading pace varies by reader, language, content, accessibility needs, and medium. This is an estimate, not a measured reading duration.
The calculation or transformation runs in your browser using the values entered above. No input is sent to UtilityForge for this tool.

FAQ
Reading pace varies by reader, language, content, accessibility needs, and medium. This is an estimate, not a measured reading duration.
No. This published tool runs locally in your browser. UtilityForge does not send the values entered in this workbench to a server.
No. This workbench runs in the page: Text, Reading speed (words per minute) are read by the code your browser already downloaded, and UtilityForge receives neither the values nor the result.
Yes, and it is enforced rather than advertised: Text (100,000 characters). The limit is a browser input limit on a tool that runs on this device, so nothing is truncated after being sent anywhere.
