Script timer: how long will your script take to say?

Paste a video script, one line per scene. We’ll estimate how long each line takes to say and how long the video will run, the same way our builder does.

One line per scene. Numbers, “&” and “%” are read as they’re said.

Voice

Each of our voices speaks at its own pace.

Your timings will appear here.

Your script stays in your browser: nothing is sent to us.

How it works

We count the syllables in each line, not just the words: long words take longer to say. Each voice says a steady number of syllables a second, measured from its recordings, plus a short pause at each comma and full stop. The video length adds a title at the start, a moment between scenes and an ending, as our builder does. Real recordings can run a second or two either way.
