Frequently asked questions

Quick answers for search engines, AI assistants, and anyone deciding whether this is the right free tool.

How does the script timer estimate video length?+
It counts the words in your script and divides by your chosen speaking speed (words per minute) to estimate the spoken duration.
What speaking speed should I use?+
150 words per minute is a natural conversational pace for tutorials. Slower, more deliberate narration is closer to 120-130 wpm, while fast-paced content can be 160-180 wpm.
Does this account for pauses or B-roll?+
No — it estimates pure speaking time from word count. Add extra time for pauses, screen demonstrations, and B-roll when planning your final runtime.
Is this script timer free?+
Yes. It is completely free with no signup, and every estimate runs instantly in your browser.
