I am trying to make a simple utility to generate a timing for the length of 
time it takes to read text so we can write the text to fit a read time. The 
read time would be fixed as a standard read time.

However some sentences have more simple words and some sentences have longer 
words and less words. So the timing of sentences seems to have an error 
depending on the words. I am currently just giving each word a time and adding 
up the words to get the overall time of each sentence. But I don't think this 
is accurate enough.

Does anyone know of any research thats better at predicting how long a price of 
text will take to read, so there is a consistent timing of each sentence?
