A practical tool for your next Short

Shorts Script Timing Calculator

Estimate a script's spoken duration using your measured reading pace and planned pauses.

Make The Result Useful

Read a short passage aloud at the pace you intend to use. Divide its word count by the reading time in seconds, then multiply by 60 to find your measured words per minute. Enter separate pauses only if they were not already included in that measurement.

This is a planning estimate. Time the actual voice take before approving a video.
