We won't use a constant WPM. We were thinking of doing something more elegant. We should be able to count the number of words per screen and the amount of time spent to estimate the WPM for each reader and do estimates based on those unique WPM.
Having to require readers to enter or even know their WPM seems suboptimal. What do you think about the approach to calculate it automatically for each reader. Initially of course it will just say" learning" until the reader moves from the first page/screen.
What do you think about that approach?
