What the result means
The estimate is word count divided by WPM, rounded to whole seconds. It does not model comprehension, pauses, subject difficulty, or speaking time.
Local and temporary
Your text stays in memory in this tab. Clear text keeps the current WPM for the session; Reset speed returns only the speed to 225.
