Make the pace yours

Start the timer as you read. Stop when you finish. The current text count and elapsed time set your pace.

00:00.0

No microphone. No recording. Read a representative passage.

The counting rule is visible

Whitespace separates word units. A token must contain a letter or number; punctuation-only tokens do not count. Korean uses eojeol, which differs from English words. Long unspaced text needs a spacing check.

When the estimate is useful

Remove directions that will not be spoken. Measure a representative passage. Add screen-only time separately. Once a recording exists, its actual length is the best guide.
