Talk Pacer

Speakers rarely run long overall. They run long in one section, then rush the ending. Talk Pacer knows your outline. It budgets every section, and during delivery it shows you at a single glance whether you're on pace right now. BUILT FOR THE PODIUM The pace verdict is readable from arm's length in a dim room. Four states, four colors, no math: - On pace โ green, keep going - Drifting โ amber, you're spending more than this section's budget - Act now โ red, you need to move - Banked โ ice blue, you're ahead and you can slow down Your screen stays awake for the whole delivery. No unlocking mid-sentence. BUILD THE OUTLINE, BUDGET THE TIME Enter your sections and give each one a time budget. Talk Pacer tells you when the outline is fully allocated, so you know your plan adds up before you stand up. REHEARSAL HISTORY THAT FINDS YOUR PATTERN Every run is recorded. Over time Talk Pacer surfaces the sections you habitually overrun, which is the thing you cannot see from inside a talk. Most speakers discover they have exactly one problem section and have had it for years. WHO IT'S FOR Preachers and homilists working a fixed slot. Toastmasters members. Lecturers and instructors. Conference and keynote speakers. Sales teams rehearsing a pitch. Anyone who speaks from an outline rather than a script. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No account. No sign-in. No cloud. No analytics. No tracking of any kind. Talk Pacer collects nothing, because it doesn't need to. FREE AND PRO The free version never expires and is not a trial. You get one saved talk with the complete pacing experience. Talk Pacer Pro unlocks unlimited talks and full rehearsal history with habitual-overrun analysis. Available as a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Questions or ideas? Email support@talkpacer.com and the developer will reply.
