## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, simple reading-time computation specifically calibrated for recruiting use cases — such as auditing job descriptions, candidate summaries, outreach emails, or onboarding documents. Prefer it over generic text analysis tools when the context is HR or talent acquisition workflows and you need a fixed 200 wpm baseline without configuration overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Empty text input returns an error or zero-time estimate
- Extremely short text (e.g. a single word) may return a sub-second estimate that is not meaningful
- Very long documents may produce unexpectedly high estimates if word count is miscalculated
- Non-English or mixed-language text may not be accurately word-counted
- Payment failure via x402 protocol causes request rejection
