Estimate reading time

Open devSJR opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

I would appreciate it if dsnote was able to estimate how long it takes to read a text aloud. Of course, this also depends on the reading speed. Among other things, it would be useful to estimate how long an audio file will be or whether the text could be read by humans in a certain time. There are certainly even more use cases.

Thank you for the idea. I understand the need and agree that this would be quite useful.

I will investigate what options are available.

But please consider it as very low priority. It is really only a nice to have.

This is easily doable First you need to find the average reading speed specified in wpm (words per minute) for each language. Then you count the words in a page and div by wpm.
