The average conversational speaking rate is about 130–150 words per minute (WPM). For formal presentations, most speakers aim for 120–150 WPM. Auctioneers and fast talkers can reach 200+ WPM.
Pauses for emphasis, audience reaction, slide changes, and breathing add significant time. The pause adjustment adds a percentage to your base speaking time to account for these natural breaks.
Absolutely! Ceci tool is perfect for podcasters, voiceover artists, and content creators. Use the "Conversational" preset for natural podcast pacing, or "Average" for more structured voiceover work.
It provides a solid estimate based on word count and your selected speaking speed. Actual time varies by text complexity, emotional delivery, audience interaction, and whether you are reading from a script or speaking freely.
