Built for PowerPoint. Designed for presenters.
Presentation Timing
Know how long your presentation runs, slide by slide.
A word counter tells you how long a script is. It cannot tell you which part of your talk runs long. ScriptAssist estimates your presentation from the speaker notes already in your PowerPoint deck, so you see the time for every slide and section, a running total, and where you are likely to run long before you present.
Included in every ScriptAssist plan, Standard and Pro.
From a rough estimate to a rehearsed presentation
Every slide, estimated
See the estimated speaking time for each slide, based on the words in its speaker notes at your pace.
A running total
Watch the cumulative time build down the deck, so you know where you stand at any point in the talk.
Rehearse to a target
Enter your time slot and the slides and sections likely to run long are highlighted, so you know where to trim.
Sections add up
Slides group into sections with their own subtotals, so you can rebalance a whole part of the talk at once.
Just need a quick number?
Estimate a single script in seconds.
If you only want to know how long one script will take, the free Presentation Script Time Calculator gives you word count, speaking time, and how many words to add or cut. When you are ready to time the whole deck slide by slide, that is what ScriptAssist does inside PowerPoint.
Presentation Timing FAQ
How does ScriptAssist estimate presentation time?
It reads the speaker notes on each slide, counts the words, and estimates speaking time at your chosen pace. It shows the estimate for every slide, subtotals for each section, and a running total for the whole deck.
Can I rehearse against a target time?
Yes. Enter a target length and the slides and sections most likely to push you over are highlighted, so you can quickly see where to trim before you present.
Is Presentation Timing included in my plan?
Yes. Presentation Timing is part of every ScriptAssist plan, Standard and Pro, and the 7-day free trial includes it.
Does it change my slides or my notes?
No. Presentation Timing only reads your speaker notes to estimate timing. It never edits your slides or your notes.
