    This study presents a method to estimate reading rate from short speech samples. The technique accurately predicts reading speed with 83% agreement, offering a practical tool for analysis.

    Area of Science:

    • Linguistics
    • Speech Science
    • Phonetics

    Background:

    • Estimating reading rate is crucial for speech analysis.
    • Current methods may require extensive speech samples.
    • A need exists for efficient reading rate estimation techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a method for estimating reading rate from short speech samples.
    • To determine the accuracy of the proposed reading rate estimation technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Analyzing speech samples from four talkers reading 58 selected sentences (15 words or less).
    • Calculating the ratio of unstressed to stressed syllables and terminal lengthening.
    • Comparing predicted average phoneme duration to the grand mean.

    Main Results:

    • Sentences with mid-range unstressed/stressed syllable ratios and terminal lengthening showed average phoneme duration close to the grand mean.
    • The prediction method achieved 83% agreement with actual readings.
    • The method provides a reliable estimation of reading rate from limited speech data.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method offers an accurate and efficient way to estimate reading rate using minimal speech data.
    • This technique can be applied in various fields requiring speech analysis and reading speed assessment.
    • Instructions for application are detailed in the study's Summary and Appendix.
