## Sharraxaad

Reading Time shows the estimated reading time of the post, in seconds or minutes.

The estimate is automatic; a custom value for a single post can be inserted using
a Custom Field named “readingtime”.

For more info: https://www.whiletrue.it/reading-time-for-wordpress/

## Sawir-shaashado

 * [[
 * Sample content with the progress bar almost filled

## Rakibaad

 1. Upload `reading_time.php` and `unisntall.php` into the `/wp-content/plugins/reading_time`
    directory
 2. Set your favourite values in the `Settings->Reading Time` menu in WordPress
 3. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress
 4. Enjoy!

## SBI

### How is the estimation done?

The estimation is based on the “speed” value stored in the settings menu.
 The value
for speed should be chosen between a span of 150 words per minute (slightly slower
than average) to 250 words per minute (slightly higher than average); if not set,
a default value of 200 is used.

It does the right job, I like it, but I suggest to make singular and plural for 
minute/minutes and second/seconds… I have articles with 1 minute time read and they
show as 1 minutes. Good job for the plugin !
