FAQ
What are the default speeds?+
Korean: 300 chars/min for presentation, 500 chars/min for silent reading. English: 130 WPM presentation, 250 WPM silent.
My talk timing is off — why?+
It varies by person and content difficulty. Familiar topics go faster; complex slides go slower. Measure your own pace.
How many characters fit in a 5-minute talk?+
About 1,500 Korean characters (~1.5 A4 pages). Counts the actual talk, not slide transitions or Q&A.
How do blogs decide 'X-min read'?+
Based on silent reading (500 chars/min). You can use this tool's output directly. Medium uses 270 WPM for English.
What if I speak faster?+
350–400 chars/min is possible, but audience comprehension drops. Appropriate pace beats raw speed.
Estimate audiobook recording time?+
It's 50–70% slower than silent reading. Use the presentation time plus pauses for a good estimate.
