  2. 2Enter slide count to check time per slide (about 1.5-2 min each).
Chinese speakers usually deliver 180-220 characters per minute (TED averages ~190, lectures ~200, launch events up to 220); formal reports run 150-180 and fast improvisation up to 240 - above 250 listeners cannot keep up. Plan 1.5-2 minutes per regular slide, 3 for data-heavy ones. Rehearse with a timer 2-3 times, allow ±5% variation, pause 3 seconds every 300 characters and 5 after key numbers.
