This is a timer to track a speaker’s time. The display is floating and can be placed anywhere on the screen.

Quite often meetings vitally depend on the time taken by speakers. Organizers and speakers themselves need some means of looking at the remaining time for his/her speaking slot. This application is a down counter for the time allocated. The time settings can be done for up to a total of ten hours in terms of hours, minutes and seconds. It could be used both on the speaker’s computer, if he is using one, and/or on the session chairman’s machine. The speaker is able to get a running track of the time left for his engagement. The chairman or anyone controlling the time also can track the time and warn the speaker when the time limit approaches. On complete countdown you get an audio alert too.

The clock face is a like a digital clock display with the necessary digits to display the total time. So there’s one digit for the hours display while the minutes and seconds displays are two digits each. The color chosen for the time numerals in black background look good without being too dazzling or distracting. Controls are in the form of usual control buttons on media players; start/pause, stop, forward and reverse. Additionally there is a repeat/reload button. This makes eminent sense as typically you’ll have multiple speakers in a session who are given the same time for speaking. The display is a floating one that it can be placed conveniently on the screen. A nice little tool for this specific use.
