Script Timer

Paste a script and get its runtime at your chosen speaking pace, a scene-by-scene breakdown (one scene per line, the way the studio composes a reel), per-line timing, and a reading-grade estimate.

Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded, no account needed.

How it works

Three steps

1
Paste your scriptOne thought per line. Each line is treated as a scene — exactly how ReelMint turns a script into editable motion scenes.
2
Pick a speaking paceCalm, natural, energetic or fast — the runtime updates instantly for the pace you'll actually narrate at.
3
Tune to lengthSee which lines run long, trim, and hit your target duration before you ever open the editor.
FAQ

Common questions

How accurate is the runtime?

It's a words-per-minute estimate, so it's a close ballpark, not a stopwatch. Pick the pace that matches your delivery — real narration timing lands within a few seconds for most scripts.

Why one scene per line?

Because that's how ReelMint builds a reel: each script line becomes its own editable scene. Writing one thought per line here mirrors what you'll get in the studio.

What's the reading grade?

A Flesch–Kincaid grade-level estimate — roughly the school grade needed to read it easily. Lower is punchier for short-form. It's an estimate, labelled as one.
