Questions
How many words is a 10-minute video?
About 1,500 words at a normal 150 wpm. Tight tutorials run faster (160–180); explainers and narration run slower (120–140).
Which pace should I read at?
Normal talking is 150 wpm; slow narration is 120 and fast delivery is 180. Time yourself on one page and use the pace nearest your real number.
Does the estimate include pauses?
No — it divides word count by pace. For a script with deliberate pauses, read the slower pace or keep a buffer on top.
