FAQ

Is my script uploaded anywhere?

No. The script stays in your browser and is used only for local timing and display.

What WPM should I use?

Many recorded tutorials feel natural around 130 to 150 words per minute. Use slower pacing for dense instructions.

Can this replace rehearsal?

No. It gives a planning estimate. Read the script once out loud before recording important takes.
