What the Script Counter Does
Standard word counters treat "$4,500" as one word — but a voice actor says "four thousand five hundred dollars," which is five words. The Script Counter expands your script to its spoken form so you get an accurate word count for quoting and scheduling.
Numbers & Currency
"$1,250" becomes "one thousand two hundred and fifty dollars." Supports 37+ world currencies including euros, pounds, and yen.
Dates & Time
"12/25/2024" becomes "December twenty-fifth, twenty twenty-four." Time formats like "3:45 PM" expand to spoken words too.
URLs & Email
Web addresses and email are spelled out character by character — the way you'd actually read them aloud in a voice-over session.
Measurements & More
Units, fractions, ordinals, phone numbers, and percentages are all expanded to match what a voice actor speaks in the booth.
What the Script Timer Does
Once you know your word count, convert it to a realistic recording time. The Script Timer factors in speaking pace — from slow audiobook narration to fast commercial reads — and gives you hours, minutes, and seconds.
Adjustable Pace
Choose from preset speeds — slow narration, conversational, or fast commercial — or enter a custom words-per-minute rate that matches your delivery.
Instant Conversion
Type or paste a word count and see the estimated recording duration update in real time. No waiting, no page reloads.
Spot-Length Awareness
Results include contextual notes like "Fits a :30 spot" or "Typical audiobook hour" so you can plan sessions and quote clients with confidence.
