The Assumption I Never Questioned

I always thought:

“Yeah, I type pretty fast.”

I read a lot.

I write daily.

I speak clearly.

Out of curiosity, I tried a speed test.

And the result?

👉 Not as fast as I thought.

Not terrible… but definitely not “fast”.

That’s When It Hit Me

We assume things like:

“I’m a fast typer”

“I read quickly”

“I speak clearly”

But we never measure them.

Why I Built This Tool

So I built a simple tool:

👉 https://allinonetools.net/text-speed-tester/

Where you can test:

⌨️ Typing speed

📖 Reading speed

🎤 Speaking speed

All in one place.

No login.

No setup.

Just:

Start → Test → Know your speed

What I Learned (This Was Surprising)

When I started digging into it…

The averages were eye-opening:

Typing speed: ~40 WPM for most people ([Count Character][1])

Reading speed: ~200–250 WPM on average ([Count Character][1])

Speaking speed: ~130–160 WPM in normal conversation ([Count Character][1])
