Hi,

I am currently facing following problem:

I have to do presentation in PowerPoint
It cannot exceed 10 minutes of speech


Sure I can watch clock if I talked too long, but which slides took me most time?
This is time for thinBASIC script.

How to use:

Run the attched script
Open your presentation in PowerPoint
Start your presentation using F5 key
Start to talk, and advance to next slide using SPACE key
When finished with last slide, quit presentation using ESCAPE key


The script automatically reads the keys, so it is able to record times you spend on each slide without bothering you in any way.
It is very simple program, but can help you to optimize your time-critical presentation.
Hope it will be of use for those punished by hell of presentations in school :)

Nice idea Petr.

I don't have to worry about such things, but I can see how useful this is for those who use powerpoint!
