About this app

It gives you an approximate idea of how long it will take to read. There’s a function that estimates how many seconds it will take, and a timer to measure how long it actually takes to read aloud. You can also see the word count.

It’s as easy to use as a to‑do list.

About 50 languages are supported, and you can set the language of the memo to get a more accurate time estimate.

You can protect your privacy with a password.

There’s also a backup feature that lets you save your notes to the device’s local storage.

■ Use cases
- Speakers of speeches, presentations, and announcements
Knowing how long it takes to read a speech, presentation, or announcement lets you plan your timing and determine whether you can finish within the allotted time.

It can also help you improve your speech, presentation, and delivery skills. You can track how long your presentations take to see your progress. The app also allows you to record the content of your presentation, which can be used later to recall or review what you presented and how you presented it.

■ Review from a user who tried it

1. My presentation skills have greatly improved since I started using this app. By recording how long my presentations take, I can monitor my pacing and adjust my speed accordingly. Recording my presentation content and materials has also been very helpful when I need to recall the content later.

I used this app when I had trouble keeping my presentation under 10 minutes due to a time limit at university. The app gives you a rough estimate in seconds, and you can also record the actual seconds it took you to read. I jot notes to estimate the reading time, then use the timer to record my actual pace. Since using this app, I’ve been able to prepare my presentations much more efficiently and no longer go over time.
