Speech Timer
For Toastmasters Meetings & Presentations
Free Online Speech Timer
This online speech timer runs entirely in your browser — no app to download, no account to create. It uses the green-yellow-red traffic light system to visually signal when you are on track, when to start wrapping up, and when time is up.
Works on any device: phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. For virtual meetings, share your browser tab on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams so everyone can see the timer.
How It Works
- Choose a preset (Table Topics, Evaluation, Ice Breaker, Speech) or set custom times
- Press Start or hit the spacebar
- The background turns green when you reach the minimum time
- It changes to yellow when you should start concluding
- It turns red when you hit the maximum — stop speaking
- Press Stop or spacebar again to pause and see your final time

Practice Sessions
Rehearse any speech at home and train yourself to stay within time limits before the real event.
