Social Media Character Limits
Every platform has its own character restrictions. The counter shows you at a glance whether your text fits:

Reading Time and Speaking Time
Reading time is based on an average reading speed of 250 words per minute (silent reading). Speaking time uses approximately 150 words per minute — useful for presentations, speeches, podcasts, or YouTube scripts. Know before recording whether your script runs 5 or 15 minutes.
