According to a speed-reading test sponsored by Staples as part of an e-book promotion, here are the typical speeds at which humans read, and in theory comprehend, at various stages of educational development :
Third-grade students = 150 words per minute (wpm)
Eighth grade students = 250 wpm
Average college student = 450 wpm
Average "high-level exec" = 575 wpm
Average college professor = 675 wpm
Speed readers = 1,500 wpm
World speed reading champion = 4,700 wpm
Average adult = 300 wpm
Hey Michael, Thanks for this tutorial. Recently made a tool to calculate time to read a post. Sharing to help someone trying to estimate time for their blogs.
I know the split() method splits a string into an array of substrings. But what does the parameter inside this split method do in this code?? split(/\s+/)
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Interesting share @michaelburrows.xyz 👍
The constant value

Excellent! Thanks for the metrics 👍.
Proven numbers and code snippets, it seems that I have no more excuses to not add such information to our dashboard 😉.
Medium is using 265 WMP for calculation.

It's a regular expression that splits the string with \s matching single whitespace characters and \s+ matching one or more whitespace characters.
nice
