Check speaking time before a presentation or voiceover so you know it fits.
Word counts that actually matter
"500-word essay." "2-minute speech." "Under 1,000 characters for the form." Limits like these are everywhere, and guessing is how people blow them. The speaking-time figure is the quiet hero here: scripts, sermons, wedding speeches and video voiceovers all run long on paper and longer out loud. Writers also use the live count to trim drafts — cut 10% and most writing gets better, not just shorter.
