To install the package from npm, run:
npm i get-reading-time
Or using yarn:
yarn add get-reading-time
Here’s how you can use the analyzeText function to analyze a piece of text:
import { analyzeText } from "get-reading-time/dist/index.js";
const text = `This is an example of text. It contains words, sentences, and links like there are https://linkedin.com/in/06nurahmed https://github.com/nurahmed123`;
const result = analyzeText(text);
// Analyze the text
try {
const result = analyzeText(text);
// Output the analysis results
console.log("Text Analysis Result:");
console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
} catch (error) {
// Narrow the type of error to Error
if (error instanceof Error) {
console.error("Error analyzing text:", error.message);
} else {
console.error("Unknown error:", error);
}
}

This feature allows you to convert plain text content into a well-formatted markdown table.
import { tableMaker } from "get-reading-time/dist/index.js";
const content = `Fazle Rabbi Khadem Senior Brand Executive at Meghna Group of Industries rabbi@example.com
Abu Obaida Imon Brand Manager at Partex Star Group imon@example.com`;
async function TableConversion() {
try {
const result = await tableMaker(content);
console.log("Converted Markdown Table:");
console.log(result);
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error during table conversion:", error);
}
}
TableConversion();
| Name | Position | Email |
|---------------------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------------|
| Fazle Rabbi Khadem | Senior Brand Executive at Meghna Group | rabbi@example.com |
| Abu Obaida Imon | Brand Manager at Partex Star Group | imon@example.com |
This feature allows you to translate any text into different languages. Simply provide the target language, and the tool will return the translated content.
import { langTrans } from 'get-reading-time/dist/index.js';
const text = 'Hello, how are you?';
const targetLanguage = 'es'; // 'es' for Spanish. Full Name is also welcome
async function translateText() {
try {
const translated = await langTrans(text, targetLanguage);
console.log("Translated Text:");
console.log(translated);
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error during translation:", error);
}
}
translateText();
{
"original": "Hello, how are you?",
"translated": "Hola, ¿cómo estás?"
}
This new feature allows users to generate content using Cohere AI. You provide your Cohere API key, a search prompt, and a word count, and it will return the generated content.
To use the aiTexGen feature, follow these steps:
import { aiTexGen } from "get-reading-time/dist/index.js";
import { aiTexGen } from '../dist/index.js';
// Replace this with your Cohere API key
const generator = new aiTexGen();
async function GenerateContent() {
try {
// Define a topic and word count for testing
const topic = 'Arduino';
const wordCount = 100;
// Call the generateContent method
const result = await generator.generateContent(topic, wordCount, false);
//TODO: True is for **Markdown Formate**
// Output the result in JSON format
console.log('Generated Content (JSON Format):');
console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)); // Pretty print the JSON output
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error during content generation:', error);
}
}
// Run the test
GenerateContent();
{
"topic": "arduino",
"content": "Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It's designed to make interactive projects accessible to everyone, from artists and designers to hobbyists and engineers. \n\nAt the heart of the Arduino platform is the Arduino board, a simple microcontroller board that can read inputs and turn them into outputs, such as turning on an LED light or activating a motor. \n\nWhat makes Arduino unique is its user-friendly approach, with a simplified programming language and easy-to-use hardware, making it a popular choice for beginners and professionals alike. With its versatility and robust community support, Arduino has become a go-to platform for creating interactive, sensor-based projects and prototypes."

You can now pass an article to the analyzeText
function, and it will automatically fix punctuation and capitalize the first letter of sentences. This feature helps to improve the readability of raw text.
Import the package and follow the steps:
import { getPunch } from 'get-reading-time/dist/index.js';
// Example to test with a string
import { getPunch } from '../dist/index.js';
// Example to test with a string
const content = "once a lion a fox and a wolf went hunting they ultimately spotted a stag and killed him for their food while sharing the hunt quarter me this stag roared the lion and other animals skinned and cut the spoil into four equal parts";
async function GetPunch() {
try {
// Call the getPunch function with content
const result = await getPunch(content, true);
// TODO: true is for markdown | False is Default
// Check the result and log it as a formatted JSON response
if (result.status_code === 200) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
} else {
console.error("Error:", JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));
}
} catch (error) {
// Handle unexpected errors
console.error("Unexpected Error:", error);
}
}
// Run the test
GetPunch();
