Run a speech timer in any browser

The online timer above is ready for speech practice, virtual club meetings, webinars and remote presentations. Choose a preset or enter custom checkpoints, then start the timer and keep this window visible while the speaker talks.

Green marks the minimum time, yellow warns the speaker to conclude and red marks the maximum. The built-in presets add an overtime signal 30 seconds after red. You can turn the clock or sound off when only the full-screen color cue is needed.

No install or account

Open the page, choose the timing signals and start. The timer runs in your browser.

Easy to screen-share

Use fullscreen mode so remote speakers and evaluators can see each color clearly.

Preset or custom times

Start with a common speech preset or edit all four timing thresholds.

Shareable setup

Create a link that carries the selected preset or your custom timing values.

    Select Start Timer, then use F if you want the largest possible display.

Online speech timer questions

Can I use this online speech timer on Zoom, Google Meet or Teams?

Yes. Open the timer in a browser window, select fullscreen if needed and share that window in your meeting. The large color changes let the speaker and audience follow the same signals.

Do I need to install a speech timer app?

No. The timer works directly in a modern browser without an account or download.

Does the speaking timer work on a phone or tablet?

Yes. You can use it in a modern mobile browser. Keep the timer visible while it is running and use fullscreen mode when your browser supports it.

Can I share my custom speech timer settings?

Yes. After choosing a preset or entering custom thresholds, select Share Timer. The generated link includes that setup so another person can open it in a browser.

Will the audience hear the timer alerts during screen sharing?

The visual signals appear in the shared window. To share the optional alert sounds too, enable tab or system-audio sharing in your meeting app; otherwise the colors still work without audio.
