Productivity calculators

6 free tools

Small tools for the questions that eat up a workday: how long a piece will take to read or say out loud, how many pages your draft fills, how many pomodoros a task needs, how fast you type, and how many hours you actually worked this shift.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are the time estimates?

They use standard averages — around 238 words a minute for silent reading and 130 for a spoken speech — so they're good planning numbers. Your real pace depends on the material and how well you know it, so treat them as a solid starting point.

Do these tools store anything I type or paste?

No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere or saved. You can paste a whole draft into the reading or speech tool and it's gone the moment you close the tab.

Why base word counts on a five-character word?

Typing tests and reading research settle on five characters (including the space) as one standard word. It keeps speeds comparable across short and long words, which is why WPM figures line up between different tools.
