Informations about the package reading-time

Reading Time PHP Calculator

EstimatedReadingTime is a lightweight PHP utility that calculates the estimated reading time (in minutes) for a given block of HTML or plain text content.

It uses a simple heuristic: an average reading speed of 120 words per minute. It strips HTML tags from the content before counting the words and rounds the result to the nearest full minute (rounding up if the leftover seconds exceed 30 seconds).

🔖 Installation

🧱 Basic Example

🔁 Updating the content

🌍 Localized Read Time Output

You can get a localized string describing the estimated read time using getReadTime().
The default language is English (EN), but you can switch to Spanish (ES) using setLanguage():

🔒 Only EN and ES are supported. Invalid languages will throw an InvalidArgumentException.

🧪 How it works

  1. Strips HTML tags from the input.
  2. Counts words using str_word_count().
  3. Divides by 120 (average words per minute).
  4. Rounds up the result if more than 30 seconds remain.
  5. Optionally returns a localized human-readable string.
