About this tool

How many words fit a 30-second English ad?

At a natural pace, about 75 to 80 words. Arabic fits fewer words in the same time because Arabic words are longer.

Why does the length change between dialects?

Typical speaking speed and word length differ between dialects, and Modern Standard Arabic is usually read more slowly than spoken dialects.

Does it include pauses?

Yes. It adds a short breath after each sentence, so more sentences make the read slightly longer.
