What this can and cannot predict

This is a pacing estimate, not a substitute for a voice recording. Delivery speed changes with language, tone, pauses, dialogue, and emphasis. Use it to trim or expand a draft before production, then validate the final timing with the actual voice and edit.

BEFORE YOU LOCK THE SCRIPT

Reserve time for the edit.

  • Leave room for hook, transitions, text cards, and a call to action.
  • Use a speaking pace that matches the intended narrator and language.
  • Check the target length against every platform version you plan to deliver.
  • Use the shot count as a planning starting point, then adjust for complex motion and product moments.

Method note: word counts and pacing are estimates. No script text is sent from this calculator; calculations occur in the browser.
