Frequently asked questions.

Which pace should I plan for?+

Normal (130 words per minute) is the safest default for most talking-head recordings. Use slow for dense or technical material and fast for a quick sales update or announcement.

Can I use this for a whole course module?+

Yes. Paste the full script for a module to estimate total runtime, then split it into shorter segments if the timer shows it running long.

Will this shorten my actual recording?+

No, it only estimates script length. To shorten a recorded video, upload it to TrimTake and let it remove filler words and dead pauses automatically.
