Meaning
Speaking rate describes how quickly a speaker delivers material, commonly estimated in words per minute for suitably segmented text.
A practical example
A 300-word passage delivered in two minutes averages 150 words per minute, including any pauses within that measured interval.
What to check
A rate setting is not a guaranteed runtime. Measure representative audio and state whether pauses are included in the calculation.
For a related planning or text task, open the words to minutes. The tool has its own limits; its result is not a measurement or approval of every concept described here.
