Reading time in minutes is word count divided by the selected rate. The display converts that value to seconds and rounds to the nearest second. Speaking time uses the same formula with its own rate and does not add pauses. Check: 100 words at 200 WPM is 0 minutes 30 seconds. 200 words at 200 WPM is 1 minute 0 seconds.
