How long is your script gong to take to read out in your video? Good question. If you’ve been working on a script and you need it read as a voiceover or monologue in your video it will directly affect the length of the video, and most likely the cost too! Getting your message right, and all the information in there is important but you might not be able to visualise how long it will take to read. Lucky you – we’ve built this handy script length calculator so you can get a rough idea of how long your video will be.

Simply find out the word count (hint, it’s usually in the very bottom left corner of Word) and type it in to the box below, select how fast you want the script read – different speeds will suit different messages – and voila! A good idea of script length.
