## Descripción

**Blog Post Reading Time** is a lightweight plugin that enhances your blog posts
with two key features:

 1. **Estimated Reading Time** – show readers how long it will take to read your article.
 2. **Listen to Article (Text-to-Speech)** – allow visitors to listen to your blog 
    post using a simple “Listen” button powered by the browser’s built-in speech API.

These features improve accessibility, keep users engaged, and reduce bounce rates
by giving them multiple ways to consume your content.

**Features:**
 – Automatically display reading time on posts – Shortcode support:`[
bprt_post_reading_time]` and `[bprt_listen_article]` – Customizable label text (
e.g., “Estimated reading time:”) – Option to show or hide the clock icon (⏱) – Display
positions: after title, after featured image, or before content – Custom font size
setting (in px) – Adjustable words-per-minute (WPM) setting – Add a custom postfix(
e.g., “min read”) – Enable/disable “Listen to this Article” feature – Lightweight
and works without third-party APIs (uses browser’s built-in Web Speech API)
