Speaking Time Calculator
How long does your text take to speak. Enter words or minutes and pick your speaking pace.
Words and minutes.
Enter a word count and the calculator shows the approximate speaking time. It also works the other way: enter a time and get an approximate word count.
The speaking pace is an assumption.
The calculator assumes about 130 words per minute for a conversation and about 120 for a talk. These are general assumptions about speaking pace, not a measurement of your voice. Adjust the value to match your own pace.
What it is good for.
Useful for talks, podcasts, or estimating how long a text takes to read aloud. Pauses, thinking time, and emphasis are not included, so the real time is usually longer.
