Step 1 of 5

Do you talk too fast? Measure your speech rate

You read a short text, then speak freely. You instantly see your speech rate, compared with the reference for your age.

About 3 minutes, no sign-up

What you get

Your rate in syllables per second (SPS), when reading and when speaking freely.

The gap between the two: speeding up when you improvise is a sign worth knowing.

A clear next step: nothing to flag, a rate to work on, or a speech therapist's opinion to seek.

Sample result (made-up values)

Rate when speaking freely5,9 syll/s
Adult reference5,0 syll/s

Slightly above the reference: slowing down could make your speech clearer.
