Result
Estimate at 130 words/minute plus 30 seconds of pauses.
How to use speech duration estimate
Enter your script word count, expected words per minute, and extra time for pauses. Adjust the speaking rate to match your delivery and confirm with a rehearsal.
Worked example
600 words at 120 words/minute take 5 minutes. With 30 seconds of extra pauses, allow 5:30.
What the result means
Speaking rate is an assumption, not a prediction. Audience response, pronunciation, and slide transitions can change the real duration.
