Estimated reading time is a feature in BetterBoard’s board portal that automatically calculates the total reading time for all meeting material. The feature allows board members to plan their preparation effectively, and it ensures that everyone shows up well-prepared.
Effective meeting preparation starts with an overview – Estimated reading time makes it easy


What is estimated reading time?
Estimated reading time is a feature that automatically calculates how long it will take to read the entire meeting material. When the agenda for a board meeting is published, each board member receives a notification email indicating the total estimated reading time. This allows members to plan their preparation without having to log into the portal.
The feature is designed to support efficient and value-adding board work by:
- Improve meeting preparation: Members can easily assess how much time they need to allocate to reading the material.
- Increase meeting efficiency: Well-prepared members contribute to more focused and productive meetings.
- Promote transparency: All members have the same information about preparation time, which creates shared expectations.

How does estimated reading time work?
Once the meeting materials are uploaded to BetterBoard’s board portal, the system automatically calculates the total reading time based on the amount and type of documents. This information is displayed:
- In the notification email: Members receive an email with the estimated reading time, so they can plan their preparation without logging in.
- In the digital meeting book: Both the total reading time and the reading time for each individual document are displayed here, providing a detailed overview.
The feature requires no manual setup and is fully integrated into the portal’s workflow, making it easy for the board to keep track of preparation time.
