The Solution: Precision Planning with Our Calculator

Slide Coach is more than just a calculator; it’s your personal planner for a flawless delivery. Our tool is designed to eliminate the guesswork of timing by analyzing your PPT slideshow or a PDF file and providing a detailed, section-by-section breakdown.

Here’s how our calculator gives you back control:

  • Effortless Time Estimation: Simply upload your presentation file, whether it’s a PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF (.pdf), Word (.docx), or Markdown (.md). Our powerful engine instantly extracts all text from your slides, converting your word count into a tangible time estimate based on your custom words per minute (WPM) speaking rate.
  • The Power of Your Pace: The average speaking rate for a professional talk is between 140 and 160 WPM. Our interactive slider lets you find the perfect pace for your unique style and content. For a detailed, technical meeting, you might choose a slower rate. For an energetic conference opener, you can set it faster.
  • Account for Visuals: A great presentation isn’t just words. You need time to explain a chart, show a video, or let a powerful image land with your audience. Our unique “visual time” feature lets you add custom time for any slide, ensuring your final time estimate is as accurate as possible.

With Slide Coach, you’ll never again wonder if your slide is too long or too short. You’ll have a clear, data-driven plan that empowers you to speak with confidence and authority.

How to Use the Slide Coach Calculator

The Slide Coach Calculator is designed to help you time your presentations perfectly, so you can deliver a confident, on-schedule talk every time. It works by combining two key metrics: your speaking rate and the visual time for each slide.

1. Upload Your Presentation File

To get started, simply drag and drop your presentation file into the “Drop file here” box. The calculator supports all common formats, including:
PowerPoint (.pptx): The calculator extracts all text from each slide and uses it to estimate your speaking time.
PDF (.pdf): It reads the text from each page.
Word (.docx): It calculates the total time based on the entire document’s text.
Markdown (.md): It splits the content into “slides” at every --- break.
The app will instantly analyze your file and display a summary of your slides.

2. Set Your Speaking Rate (WPM)

Your speaking rate, measured in Words Per Minute (WPM), is the most important factor in timing your presentation. The average speaking rate for a public presentation is between 140 and 160 WPM.
Average (140 WPM): This is the default setting and is ideal for a clear, steady pace.
Fast (170+ WPM): Use this for a high-energy delivery or when you need to cover a lot of information quickly.
Slow (100-130 WPM): A slower rate is great for complex topics with a lot of technical jargon, as it gives your audience time to process.
You can use the slider to adjust the WPM, and the calculator will automatically update your total presentation time. For a more personal touch, click the speaker icon to hear an audio sample of your selected pace.

3. Adjust Visual Time Per Slide

Your presentation isn’t just about what you say; it’s also about what the audience sees. A slide with a complex chart or a detailed image will take longer to explain than a simple text slide.
Add Time for Visuals: The calculator automatically displays a thumbnail for each slide from PowerPoint and PDF files.
Use the Stepper Buttons: Use the + and - buttons next to each slide to add or subtract “visual time” in one-minute increments. This lets you account for pauses, demonstrations, Q&A, or simply allowing the audience to read a chart.
When you click on a thumbnail, a full-screen preview will appear, allowing you to get a closer look at the slide before you set its visual time.

4. Review Your Total Time

As you adjust your speaking rate and visual times, the calculator will give you a real-time estimate of your total presentation length. The total time displayed is a sum of:
(Total Word Count / WPM) + Total Visual Time
This gives you a reliable estimate that you can use to confidently plan your presentation and stay on schedule.
