Calculators for the arithmetic of reading and listening. They are free, need no account, and run in your browser.

• Words per minute calculator

  A timed reading speed test with three comprehension questions, or words and minutes entered by hand.

• Audiobook speed calculator

  Listening time at any playback speed from 0.5x to 3.5x, the time saved, and the day you finish.

• Reading time calculator

  How long a book or article takes to read, from a word count, a page count or pasted text.

Each of these gives a time. None of them says how much of a book you will understand when the time is up, which is the subject of alternatives to Audible for people who listen to learn.
