Speaking pace in words per minute

Transcript word count divided by the supplied recording duration in minutes, rounded to a whole-number pace signal.

How to use this signal

Find the passage where comprehension drops, then change sentence length, transition wording or pause placement before repeating the same passage.

Four comparison checks

  1. Use accurate recording duration.
  2. Compare similar scenarios and languages.
  3. Listen for rushed endings and stalled setups.
  4. Judge comprehension rather than speed alone.

Local fallback contract

The local baseline divides tokenized word count by duration, with a 0.1-minute floor to avoid division by zero.
