How the calculation works
Adjusted duration = base speaking time × (1 + additional pause percentage ÷ 100). The percentage adds an entered allowance relative to the base duration. It is not a measured pause rate or share of the final duration. Counts and dimensions use the declared rounding convention; other numbers display up to three decimal places where applicable. Nonzero subsecond durations are labelled. Durations round to the nearest second; nonzero subsecond durations are labelled. File-size output units are decimal. Changing an input label does not convert filled values.
