How to Calculate How Long Your Speech is?
You can calculate your speech length by finding out the number of words you speak in a minute. It’s denoted by WPM (Words Per Minute)
WPM is a common measure of the speed at which a person can type or read a text.
If you’re unsure of the number of words you speak in a minute, take advantage of our free teleprompter to find WPM and your correct speech length. Here's how you can do it quickly:
- Enter the text in the blank area and open the BIGVU teleprompter. Now, take a deep breath and start reading your script at your own comfortable pace.
- As you read along, you’ll notice the words from your script scrolling up the screen. In a few moments, you’ll understand whether the scrolling speed of words is right, a bit too fast, or too slow. If so, adjust the words per minute speed and the text font size to match your reading pace.
- Keep a keen eye on the words appearing on the teleprompter as you continue reading your script. No worries if you find that the speed is not quite in sync with your rhythm! Tweak it until you discover the perfect balance that matches your natural reading flow.
- That’s it! You’ve found out how many words you speak in a minute. Now take the opportunity to familiarize yourself with your new reading speed. Remember, the key is to remain calm and let the words flow naturally, making reading the text a breeze.
