Video Script Timer

Summary

Paste your script, set your speaking pace, and instantly see how long your video will run.

How it works

1. Paste or type your video script into the text area.
2. Set your speaking pace in words per minute (WPM).
3. The tool counts the words in your script in real time.
4. Estimated video duration is calculated as word count divided by WPM.
5. Adjust pace or trim the script until the estimate fits your target platform length.

Use cases

• Check whether a TikTok script fits within 60 seconds before recording.
• Plan YouTube Shorts scripts that stay under 60 seconds.
• Time Instagram Reels voiceovers before production.
• Adjust speaking pace to hit a specific video length target.
• Estimate podcast intro or ad read durations from a written script.
• Help presenters pace speeches and avoid running over time.
