This looks really interesting. I have found success using the Mergener Formula which calculates estimated completion time based on word count, question count and degree of difficulty. http://touchcalc.com/calculators/mergener

This is very impressive. I have used word count to calculate run time for each slide and to estimate for complete delivery. However this form is very impressive looking and a much easier form for business stakeholders to digest. Thanks for sharing! This is truly gift.

This may be a silly question, but how are you getting the word counts?!? I haven't found a nice easy function like those I'm accustomed to in Microsoft Word, for example. When a project is exported to Word, the slides are exported as images, not editable (or countable) text. My team has been using the "Translate" functionality as a (somewhat clunky) work-around, but if we're missing an easier trick, we'd love to hear it!!
