How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the total number of words you want to calculate the time for in the "Number of Words" field.
- Set your speaking rate in words per minute (WPM). A typical conversational rate is 150 WPM, but you can adjust this based on your speaking speed.

- Use the "Reset" button to clear all inputs and start over.
Principle Explanation
This calculator works based on the simple formula that time = number of words × (60 ÷ speaking rate). The speaking rate represents how many words you can speak in one minute. By dividing 60 by your speaking rate, we get the time it takes to speak one word, then multiplying by the total number of words gives us the total speaking time.
