Estimate reading time
estimate_reading_timeRead-only
Use this when the user needs a reading-time or speaking-time estimate from text or a word count. Accepts text up to 20,000 characters or 1 to 2,000,000 words, plus 100 to 1,000 wpm or a reader type. Returns a 150 to 800 wpm table; it does not assess reading ability.
