Questions
How is speaking time calculated?
Word count divided by the speaking pace you set, rounded up to the nearest second.
What pace should I use?
Conversational speech is typically 120 to 150 words per minute. Formal presentations often run slower, around 100 to 120 wpm. The default of 130 wpm is a reasonable mid-point.
Does it account for pauses or slide transitions?
No. The estimate covers spoken words only. Add extra time manually for pauses, Q&A, or transitions.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. The calculation runs entirely in your browser; nothing you enter is uploaded or stored.
