Hi: I built WordToTime.org, a free browser-tool that helps you convert word-counts, character-counts or page-counts into estimated time for speaking, reading, voice-over or audiobook delivery (all processed locally in your browser).Why I built it When working on talks, podcasts or video scripts, I kept asking: “How many minutes will it take to read this aloud?” Simple word-to-time tools exist but often ignore realistic pause modelling, language differences, or character/ page-based inputs.
I kept missing incidents until it was too late. By the time my monitoring alerted me, servers/nodes were already unrecoverable.So I built Linnix.

Not try
Hi HN, I'm a Senior SDET at Plotly. My company just launched Plotly Studio, a new tool that uses AI to build data visualizations and analytics apps.
