Estimating the Reading Time

We are living in an era, where information has already become overload. People start to skip things in the very first place, and no one cares what’s going on their surroundings.

When it comes to reading, just because of the posts and articles seem to be long, you can’t skip them. Sometimes it may have some pictures in it. Which may led to seem it really long.

So, I thought to make a simple app for to estimate the reading time of a post. The calculation is based on standard reading speed which is 200 wpm. I’ve named it a Read-O-Meter, which is self-explanatory.

You just paste the post and submit, Read-O-Meter will tell you how much time you may need to finish off reading that write-up.
