Public Speech is really a great training and monitoring tool for anyone having to give a speech, whether it's in front of 2 people, or a crowd of millions. This is an easy-to-use application designed to monitor speaking time, record and save speeches. It also contains a handy practice timing mode.

Public Speech is primarily designed to encourage individuals, like you, to participate in helping to shape public policy. Being actively involved in public policy issues for many years at local, state and national levels, we know individual voices do matter, and we, as individuals, can and do have an impact on public policy.

Public Speech is also an important tool for businesspeople to be efficient when giving a presentation, for high school and college speech classes and speech contests, for Toastmasters, politicians and anyone practicing and giving a speech.

Built-in Timer Mode

Many public meetings typically limit the time an individual may address a board or a group to three to five minutes. Often speakers run past the allotted time at public meetings. Frequently, public meetings run well past their planned time because of poor time management during public input. Conversely, timekeepers regularly cut off speakers in mid-sentence leaving them unable to finish their presentation. Public Speech will help meetings run more efficiently and help speakers improve presentation timing and effectiveness.

Features

Public Speech helps speakers prepare and present their thoughts and ideas within the allotted time, and will help meetings run more efficiently.

• Public Speech contains a large, color coded countdown timer with additional audio and tactile alarms. Use the countdown timer in portrait or landscape mode.

• It incorporates a handy recorder allowing the speaker to save, make notes and archive speeches.

• It contains a practice mode for the speaker to record and time speeches.

• Public Speech is a useful, specialized tool for meeting timekeepers.

In landscape mode the large display can be seen at a reasonable distance. Without interruption, the meeting timekeeper can turn the bright red and white blinking display toward the speaker silently alerting there are ten seconds to finish up. Additional options include audio and tactile alerts.
