What it does
How long text takes to read at an average speed, in seconds and in words. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 3 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: how long text takes to read at an average speed, in seconds and in words.
