It gives you a rough idea of how long it will take to read. There is a function to estimate how many seconds it will take, and a timer to measure how long it actually takes to read aloud. You can also see the number of words. It is as easy and simple to use as a todo list. About 50 languages are supported, and you can set the language in which the memo is written to display a more accurate time. You can protect your privacy with the password function. There is also a backup function that allows you to back up your notes to the device's local storage. β– Functions Memo function (can be used like a todo list) Predicts the time it will take to read a message.

It can also be used as a reference to improve your speech, presentation, and delivery skills. You can also keep track of how long it takes you to give a presentation so you know how well you are doing. The application also allows you to record the content of your presentation. 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. β– 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.
