Reading Speed & Time Calculator
When quoting for voiceover work, it's often handy to know how many words per minute you can read, or the opposite, how long it will take you to voice a specific script. This handy calculator will work out whichever combination you need.
1: I know the number of words in my script and I want to know how long it should take me to record.
If you record 0 words per second, then you will record:
- 15 words per half-minute
- 30 words per minute
- 1800 words per hour
- seconds per line (assuming 13 words per line)
- seconds per page (assuming 13 words per line and 21 lines per page)
