DETAILS
Reading-time estimate
Estimated time is based on the amount of text and the reading or speaking speed you select. Adjusting the speed helps compare silent reading, narration, and presentations.
Example use
Paste a presentation script and choose a speaking pace to estimate its duration, or use a reading pace to estimate the time needed for an article.
Good to know
Actual time varies with text difficulty, pauses, emphasis, slide changes, and each person’s pace.
Frequently asked questions
Can I estimate presentation length?
Yes. Choose a speaking pace to estimate narration or presentation time from your script.
Why can the actual time be longer?
Pauses, emphasis, audience interaction, and visual transitions add time that is not represented by the words alone.
