Syllables Per Second Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the syllables per second is:

\[ SPS = \frac{WPM}{60} \times SPW \]

Where:

\( SPS \) is the syllables per second
\( WPM \) is the average words per minute
\( SPW \) is the average syllables per word

What is Syllables Per Second?

Syllables per second (SPS) is a measure of how many syllables are spoken or read in one second. It is useful in various fields such as linguistics, speech therapy, and communication studies to analyze speech patterns and fluency.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Average Words Per Minute (WPM) = 120
Average Syllables Per Word (SPW) = 1.5

Using the formula to calculate the syllables per second:

\[ SPS = \frac{120}{60} \times 1.5 = 3 \]

The syllables per second (SPS) is 3 syllables/sec.
