FAQ

Why use different speeds for Chinese and English?

Chinese is estimated by character (default ~300/min) and English by word (default ~200/min), which better matches common reading habits.

Is the result exact?

No. It is an estimate from length and speed settings. Difficulty, images, and layout also affect real reading time.
