Functional word processing, "Reading" is the general way our brain processes words. Under this assumption, you're asking about the maximum reading comprehension speed. The action potential of the human brain varies across many Demographics. Factors are dependent on brain development, disabilities and genetic predispositions.

The average human brain, within a normal standard distribution model, can process between 5 and 6 times your sustainable typing speed. Typing speed seem to be indicative of our word processing efficiency, but not entirely dependant.

If you can type 60 (wpm) @ 90%, then reading comprehension is likely 300-350 wpm @90%. (average)

The upper range for effective word comprehension is between 600-715 wpm. (very rare)

How does sound become words?

Sound is converted into words through a complex process involving the brain, ears, and vocal cords. When we hear sound waves, the brain interprets and processes them in the auditory cortex. Subsequently, the brain links specific sounds to language and translates them into meaningful words based on learned associations. This process allows us to understand and produce spoken language.
