This can be used as a reference for recalling the content later. Also, by recording the content of what you are presenting, you can keep track of how you are presenting. ■Review by a person who experienced it first 1. my presentation skills have greatly improved since using this app. By recording the amount of time it takes me to give a presentation, I am able to keep track of how much I am presenting and adjust my presentation speed based on that. In addition, recording what I was presenting and the materials I was using was very helpful in recalling the content later. I used this app when I was having trouble keeping my presentation time under 10 minutes due to a time limit at my university. This app shows you roughly how many seconds it will take. You can also record how many seconds it took you to actually read it. I write notes to get a rough idea of how many seconds it will take, and then use the timer to record the detailed speed of my reading. Since using this app, I have been able to assemble my presentation much faster and have made no mistakes in going over time.
