Paste your script, pick a speaking pace, and see the exact runtime before you record. Free, no login.
About 150 words at a normal speaking pace of 150 words per minute. A slow, deliberate delivery (130 wpm) fits about 130 words; a fast, energetic one (170 wpm) about 170.
Normal (150 wpm) suits most talking-head videos. Pick Slow for tutorials or calm voiceovers, and Fast for high-energy, jump-cut content. Read a paragraph aloud with a timer once and you'll know which one is you.
The timer checks against YouTube Shorts at 180 seconds, Instagram Reels at 180 seconds and TikTok at 600 seconds. If a script runs over, it shows how many words to cut.
Yes. Words are counted for space-separated languages; for Chinese, Japanese and Korean, characters are counted instead and timed at a typical reading rate for those languages, so the estimate stays close.
No. The count runs in your browser as you type. Nothing is sent to a server and there is no usage limit.
