Word and character counts update as you type, so you can trim in place.
The default of 150 words per minute is a natural conversational rate. Record yourself reading a paragraph once and you will know your own number.
The breakdown times each paragraph, so you can see which part to shorten instead of guessing.
About 150 words at a natural conversational pace. Short form creators often push to 180 or 200 words per minute, which fits roughly 180 to 200 words into 60 seconds, and that faster delivery is part of why short form scripts sound the way they do. For a calm explainer, budget nearer 130 words.
Conversational English runs about 140 to 160 words per minute. Audiobook narration sits around 150. Podcasts run 150 to 170. Presentations to a room are usually slower, near 120 to 140, because you pause more. Anything above 200 is hard for listeners to follow, and anything below 110 sounds laboured.
Because the estimate counts words, and delivery includes everything that is not a word: pauses for emphasis, breaths, the beat you leave after a joke, and re-takes. Add 10 to 20 percent to any word count estimate if your delivery has a lot of air in it, and consider that a healthy sign rather than a problem.
