I calculated the playing time on SuttaCentral Voice (SCV) for English only. The actual playing will certainly deviate: the values SCV gives are estimates only. The actual time will also depend on the narrator (Amy, Raveena, or Russell). Listeners can estimate the time for Pali + English by multiplying by 2.8 (and for Pali only by 1.8). I calculated this multiplier by comparing English and English + Pali time for the Dīgha; for other āgamas the multiplier might be slightly different.

Future Work to Be Done
- More reliable estimates. For now, the estimates, which are based on the SC Voice estimates, do not take into account empty segments.
- Other collections when they appear on SCV, first of which the 2019 Therīgāthā and Theragāthā translations.
