About this calculator
This calculator divides your script's word count by a speaking pace (words per minute) to estimate total speaking time. Conversational English speech averages around 130–160 wpm, but the calculator lets you dial in your own pace since delivery style, pauses for emphasis, and audience size all shift the real number — a formal keynote runs slower than a casual toast.
Speechwriters, presenters and voiceover artists use it to check a draft against a hard time slot before rehearsing out loud, and podcasters and video creators use the same math in reverse to figure out roughly how many words of script will fill a target episode length.
