Listening catches missing words and awkward phrasing that silent reading can skip. Paste a script, estimate its spoken length and preview it with a voice available in your browser. The timing estimate stays visible so you can compare it with a real read.
Duration is word count divided by the words-per-minute rate you choose. Names, pauses and emphasis change real delivery time. Browser speech support and voice availability vary.
