How to Use the Reading Time Estimator
This plugin provides two ways to calculate the estimated reading time (based on ~225 words per minute) from any text source.
1. Visual Element (Frontend/UI)
Place the "Reading Time Estimator" element on your page to track content dynamically.
Input: Provide the default_text in the property editor.
Exposed State: Reference Reading Time Estimator's reading_time_in_minutes (type: number) in any text element or workflow.
Update via Workflow: Use the element action "Set Text" to push new content into the estimator (useful for dynamic content or user inputs).
2. Workflow Action (Backend/Logic)
Use the "Estimate Reading Time" action in your workflows for one-off calculations.
Input: Provide the text you want to analyze.
Output: Access the result using Result of Step X's reading_time.
