Convert words to minutes – words to time calculator

Have you ever needed to write a speech for “exactly 25 minutes'' and not a second longer? If yes, then you are probably aware of how difficult and challenging that can be when you’re just winging it. But not to fear, our words to minutes converter is here to rescue you.

When using the words to minutes calculator, bear in mind that the reading speed of the speaker depends on the characteristics of the text and of the speaker. That said, according to industry standards and our speech time calculator, the average narration speed is about 120-150 words per minute.

Methods to use while converting speech to minutes

Reducing the time while using word speech calculator is possible using three methods:

• Increase your pace (accelerated recitation). This means that you try to say the words faster than normal, but still clearly and correctly. You can practice this skill by using tongue twisters. Simply try to say your tongue twisters as fast as you can without making mistakes. Our speaking time calculator can help you measure your speed and see how much time you can save by speaking faster. You can also use our words to time converter to see how long it takes you to say a certain number of words at different speeds.
• Reduction of pauses between sentences and words at the editing stage. This means that you cut out the silence or the filler words (such as “um”, “uh”, “like”, etc.) from your speech after you record it. This can make your speech sound smoother and more fluent. You can use our words to speaking time tool to see how much time you can save by reducing pauses. You can also use our words to time calculator to see how many words you can fit in a given time limit by reducing pauses.
• Software “compression” of the record. This means that you use a computer program to make your speech sound faster without changing the pitch or the quality of your voice. This can make your speech sound more urgent and energetic, but it can also make it sound unnatural and distorted. You can use our words to time calculator to see how much time you can save by using software compression. You can also use our words to speaking time tool to see how fast you need to speak to match the compressed speech.
