# Check Caption Cue Reading Rates Against Your Own Mark — Free

A caption can be perfectly timed by the tooling and still too fast to read. Divide characters by seconds per cue, hold the result next to your own pace mark, and the fast ones stop hiding in the timeline.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

Caption reviewers checking on-screen reading rates

## What's free

- one complete unwatermarked caption-rate triage run in the app
- three labeled samples and unlimited article-demo calculations
- complete result text and a user-triggered input-state link

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- unlimited subsequent caption-rate triage app calculations after a local convenience signal
- print the caption-rate triage with visible assumptions and its safety boundary
- CSV of the displayed characters/second and row workings; conditional estimate uses your manual-retyping minutes
- five local reading summaries (headline/count/time), not saved full inputs or cross-device backups

## Sources & verification

- Tool: GratisAI local-first instrument (no key, no account)
- Primary source: the free tool itself (local-first, no external dependency)
