Can anyone recommend a talk timer? What I have in mind is a countdown clock of some kind.
Which provides the speaker giving a presentation and their audience some audio and visual feedback about the time they have left. The talk length would need to be variable, from 5 minutes to 60 minutes. It would need to provide for two "bells/alarms" one warning, at a variable time from the end and a warning at the end..which may continue as an audible beep to indicate the speaker is over time. It would also need a start the clock now. It could be used for the SLUG meetings - where there are 5 and 7 minute slots and the speaker can decide whether they are going to take questions or not in their alotted time. This is something I would like to have as a speaker. A friend of mine once told me, they desperately tried to signal me from the front row of the audience that I really should wind up - but I never noticed them and everyone else in the audience was too polite to say anything - even though I was keeping them from lunch and they weren't listening anymore.
