01

Add the requested inputs

Use the labelled fields in the workspace above. If example values are provided, try them first or replace them with your own.

Calculate and review

Use the main action when needed. Estimated duration in minutes = script word count ÷ speaking rate.

03

Try a worked example

A 300-word script at 150 words per minute takes about two minutes before long pauses or visual beats.

04

Check the assumptions

Demonstrations, reactions, retakes and editing rhythm can add substantial time beyond spoken words.
