How to use the speech rehearsal stopwatch
Enter the number of words you plan to speak and a target length. Start as you begin rehearsing, mark sections as you go, and pause at the end. The result shows words per minute using your entered count and measured active time.
Normal speaking pauses belong in the rehearsal time. Use Pause only to exclude interruptions that would not be part of the talk. The word count is manual: there is no microphone, recording, transcription or automatic counting. The watch continues past the target and clearly labels overtime.
Is this the same as the presentation timer?
The speech stopwatch measures how long a rehearsal actually takes and helps you compare sections and speaking pace. The presentation timer counts down a planned allowance with warning cues. Use either tool's fullscreen display when you want a larger clock.
How accurate is the stopwatch?
The display can show hundredths of a second, but human reaction and browser input latency affect a manual measurement. Live timing uses a monotonic clock, so changing the device time does not change an open session. After a refresh, recovery uses saved device timestamps. Device sleep and a changed clock can affect that recovery. Keep this page and device awake for dependable timing.
Where are my results saved?
Only in this browser on this device, with no account required. Use one tab per tool to avoid overwriting the same saved session. Export CSV before clearing local settings. Each session can hold up to 500 marks and seven days of active elapsed time. Live updates stop while paused; no stopwatch readings are sent to our server.
