FAQ

How do I use the Speech Timer?

Paste your speech text into the input box, select a speaking speed (Slow 100 wpm, Normal 150 wpm, Fast 200 wpm), and the tool automatically calculates estimated speaking time. Set a target time to compare actual vs. expected duration.

Which speed mode should I choose?

Slow (100 wpm) is ideal for formal speeches and teaching. Normal (150 wpm) suits most presentation scenarios. Fast (200 wpm) works for TED-style rapid presentations. You can also enter a custom words-per-minute rate.

How does section timing work?

Separate paragraphs/chapters with blank lines, and the tool calculates estimated duration for each section. Total time is the sum of all section durations.
