A fast three-step workflow
How to use the reading speed test
- 1
Enter the known information
Add only the values or source text the calculation needs. Useful examples and safe defaults are already selected.
- 2
Adjust the assumptions
Use the extra controls to match your real task instead of accepting a hidden one-size-fits-all assumption.
- 3
Review the complete result
Check the main answer, supporting values and method before copying, downloading or acting on the result.
What makes this tool more useful
Time a complete passage and answer short questions before accepting the speed result. This discourages racing through text without understanding it.
How the calculation works
Reading speed divides passage words by elapsed minutes. Effective speed multiplies that value by the comprehension percentage.
Compare reading pace across practice sessions while keeping comprehension visible.
Private, fast and mobile-ready
The workspace runs with browser JavaScript and does not submit entered values to a Rantey calculation endpoint. Controls use readable labels, large touch targets and responsive result panels for narrow screens.
