Two small calculators we use every day, opened up for anyone. They run entirely in your browser — nothing you type leaves your device.
Tool 01
Radio script timer.
Paste a script, choose the spot length and reading pace, and see whether it fits. Bracketed directions like [SFX] still count — trim them if you like.

Tool 03
Pre-flight checklist.
Before any script goes to the booth, we run it through these questions. Steal them.
Read our guide to 30-second scripts- Can a listener repeat the business name after one hearing?
- Is there exactly one call to action?
- Is the phone number or web address easy to say — and said twice?
- Does the first line earn the second?
- Would this sound natural coming from a real person?
- Are all claims and prices accurate and current?
- For Spanish: was it written for the listener, not translated from English?
- Does it fit the time with room to breathe?
