Abstract: A method and apparatus for timing the delivery of a speech comprises a rectangular case bearing a linear array of light emitting diodes arranged into three groups of different colors each corresponding to a portion of the speech. A microcontroller is configured to activate the LED's in sequence and adjustments are provided to control the rate at which LED's are activated within each group. The color of a presently activated LED informs the speaker at a glance which portion of the speech he should be delivering as well as the time remaining to complete such portion.
