The time in parenthesis by the word count in sermon editor is way off because it is based on a much faster rate of speech than I typically preach and teach. I know that I speak around 85-95 words per minute and I want to be able to adjust that in the settings to accurately reflect how long the sermon will be.

    I use the sermon builder to create my sermons, but the words per minute is a little slower than I currently speak.

    Could the option be added to reflect our own speaking speed?

    When writing a sermon the word count is displayed as well as a calculation of how long the sermon is in minutes.
    Let us adjust this so the calculation is more accurate to my personal talking speed!

    This is desperately needed. The current number will only work if you are writing a full manuscript. I use an outline and average around 40 words a minute. The current setting is more than 3 times that fast. The ability to adjust would help in preparation.

    I would greatly appreciate it, if this feature would be added. E.g. as a general option in the Logos settings or a setting in the sermon builder that is taken over to all the following sermons. So far I have to ignore the minutes estimation and go purely by the word count because the time estimation is very fast.

    I write a full manuscript, and when the timer reads 35 min, I know I'm near a 30 min sermon. We should be able to time ourselves reading a few sample paragraphs, and then upload our time and have the sermon builder adjust.
