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. 

Help!

There are two main ways to use the script calculators on this page: 

To calculate finished audio durations, work out your reading speed for the script in question and apply that directly to the calculator, for example 240 words per minute. If you don't know your reading speed, use the second calculator!

To use the calculators for quotations, i.e., how many studio hours you need to record/quote for, you should set your reading speed according to the number of words you can practically deliver per minute. For example, a pro-vo could deliver 1,800 words per hour on long-form VO, which equates to 30 words per minute. This allows for engineering, interpreting the copy, making mistakes, delivering alternate reads and so on, and in this case set your reading speed to 30 words per minute. 

How to Use The Calculators
