Words per minute mode scrolls from a reading pace instead of a raw speed percent. It is useful when you know how quickly you want to speak and want the script timing to follow the word count.
Choose a WPM value
Open the scroll mode selector, choose Words per minute, and set the reading pace. Android accepts a range from 20 to 300 words per minute and defaults new recorder state around 120 WPM.
- Use a lower value for careful tutorials.
- Use a higher value only when you can read naturally at that pace.
- Long pauses should be reflected by lowering WPM or editing the script.
Why WPM feels natural
The app can estimate duration from script word count and the WPM value. That makes the mode easier to reason about than fixed speed when the script length changes.
Rehearse once
Read the first 30 seconds aloud. If the text is slightly ahead of you, lower WPM; if it lags behind you, raise WPM.
How WPM differs from fixed speed and timed scrolling
WPM sits between fixed speed and timed scrolling. It is not just a percent slider, because the script word count matters. It is also not a strict final duration, because you choose a speaking pace rather than a deadline. That makes it useful for repeatable, human-sounding delivery.
