Overview

Measure your reading speed by entering the text length and the time it took to read. Calculates Words Per Minute (WPM) for English and Characters Per Minute (CPM) for Korean.

Formula

Reading Speed (WPM) = Total Words / Time in Minutes. Average English adult: 200-300 WPM. Korean CPM = Total Characters / Time in Minutes. Average Korean adult: 400-600 CPM.

How to Use

  1. 1Enter the total number of words (or characters) in the text.
  2. 2Enter the time taken to read in minutes and seconds.
  3. 3Click 'Calculate' to see your reading speed.
  4. 4Compare your result with the average to gauge your level.

Tips

  • ✔Reading aloud and silent reading have very different speeds — be consistent in your method.
  • ✔Check comprehension too — speed without understanding is pointless.
  • ✔Track your speed regularly to monitor improvement.
  • ✔Reading more naturally increases your reading speed over time.

FAQ

Q. What is the average reading speed for Korean?

The average Korean adult reads at about 400-600 characters per minute (CPM) silently. Academic texts may slow you to 200-400 CPM, while light fiction can reach 600-800 CPM.

Q. How can I improve my reading speed?

Build a consistent reading habit. Practice widening your eye span (fixation range) and reducing regressions (re-reading). Speed reading apps can also be helpful.

Q. What is the difference between WPM and CPM?

WPM (Words Per Minute) counts words and is suited for space-delimited languages like English. CPM (Characters Per Minute) counts characters and is better for syllable-based languages like Korean, Chinese, and Japanese.
