Voice-over Script Timer
Estimate spoken duration from a script’s word count and an adjustable reading pace.
What this tool does
Estimate spoken duration before recording begins.
The timer counts the script’s words and divides them by an adjustable words-per-minute pace to estimate straight read time.
Pauses, emphasis, demonstrations, breaths, and performance choices are not inferred, so a natural recording often needs additional time.
