Speech Timer

About this app

Speech Timer was designed for timing speeches at Toastmaster International(tm) events.

There are a number of buttons for configuring standard predefined time settings for the green, yellow and red progress signals. You may touch a time setting display to adjust the time setting for a custom time value at any time before starting a speech.

Hitting "Start" will time the speech and progress through white, green, yellow and red progress signals, with an optional disqualification signal. Hitting "Stop" will stop the timer and display the speech time.

The first letter of the color is also displayed for color blind users. Sound and vibrate preferences are provided for blind speakers. A preference to control display of time during speech to better conform to Toastmaster International (tm) practices. Two custom time buttons may be configured in preferences.

Ratings and reviews

The app seems useful but the majority of the other buttons being gray makes them really hard to read on my Android phone. They're just too dark. Can that be changed to have better contrast between the buttons and the text on them?

I love this app. I've been using it for over 5 years. It has Toastmasters speech timings already set up and custom timing capability. Truly Awesome.

I love this however unfortunately not available for iPhones I had to change from Samsung to an iPhone and I wish that this was an iPhone or iPad please make it happen Ty
