The Word Count Boxes
As you type a script WinCuePro News will keep track of the number of words in the
script. The current word count appears in the Total Words box and is constantly
updated.
WinCuePro News also displays the number of words to the end of the script from the
position of the cursor within the script. The number of words to the end of the script is
displayed in the Words To End box.
The Script Duration Boxes
The time taken for a person to read a script from the prompter screen will depend on
the number of words in the script and how fast that person reads. WinCuePro News
uses the current word count and the presenters read rate to calculate the duration of
the script. The script duration in seconds is displayed in the Total Time box and this is
also constantly updated.
The default read rate of 180 words per minute is used if the read rate is unknown.
WinCuePro News also displays the time to the end of the script from the position of
the cursor within the script. This is calculated in the same way as the Total Time. The
time to the end of the script is displayed in the Time To End box.
