    Unnecessary but here are some ideas for options:

    1) lower case
    Read in [est_time]. displays as Read in Less than a minute. (notice the capital “L” in the middle of the sentence)

    2) add prefix and suffix options
    [est_time prefix="Read in" suffix="."] –> Read in 2 minutes.

    3) add “or less” option
    [est_time prefix="Read in" orless="or less."]
    A) –> Read in 2 minutes or less.
    B) –> Read in less than a minute. (not “less than a minute or less”)

    [est_time prefix="Read in" orless="or more."]
    C) –> Read in 2 minutes or more.
    D) –> Read in less than a minute. (not “less than a minute or more”)

    4) add “approximately” option
    [est_time prefix="Read in" approx="about"]
    A) –> Read in about 2 minutes.
    B) –> Read in less than a minute. (not “about less than a minute”)

    Just some ideas, none perfectly thought out.
    Could add both global options via options page and allow per-shortcode overrides.

    Thanks for considering them.

    I added some new options in version 1.3. You can update and test them.

    Now, only time is shown (eg. “7 minutes”), so you can set whatever you want in your text (eg. “Read in [est_time]” => “Read in 7 minutes” or “Read in less than a minute”).

    Check them out and let me know if everything is ok.

    I played with the new options. It works fine. Thanks for the changes.

    However, I would recommend adding a reminder of the shortcode to use (and any available arguments/parameters) on the wp-admin settings page.

    Additionally, I’d recommend rewording “Show in homepage” to something more descriptive of “the main blog archive page” (not the “frontpage”, in WP terminology). Secondly, I’d change “archive” to “archives” (e.g. author archives, date archives, custom post type archives).

    And thanks for the lower-case option, especially.

    tyvm!
