Our Mission
Speaking Time Calculator was born from a simple but crucial need: helping speakers respect their audience's time while delivering maximum value. Whether you're preparing a TED talk, a business presentation, or a wedding speech, timing is everything.
We believe that great communication starts with great preparation. Our platform provides speakers with the tools and insights they need to craft perfectly timed presentations that engage, inform, and inspire.
The Story Behind the Tool
As a software engineer who speaks at events from time to time, I found myself constantly struggling with one challenge: fitting quality content into precise time slots. Conference organizers would give me 20 minutes, and I'd either rush through 30 minutes of material or find myself with awkward gaps.
I searched for tools that could help me calculate speaking time accurately, but everything I found was either too basic or didn't account for the nuances of natural speech patterns. So, I decided to build my own solution.
What started as a personal project has evolved into a platform used by thousands of speakers worldwide. From students preparing class presentations to executives delivering keynotes, our calculator has helped speakers nail their timing and deliver more confident, effective presentations.

Software Engineer & Speaker
Hi! I'm Jacek, a software engineer with over a decade of experience in building web applications and speaking at tech conferences. My passion for clear communication and attention to detail led me to create Speaking Time Calculator.
As someone who values both the technical precision of software development and the art of effective communication, I understand the importance of respecting your audience's time. Every minute matters when you're presenting, and I built this tool to help speakers make every minute count.
When I'm not coding or speaking, you can find me exploring new technologies, reading about communication psychology, or planning my next presentation with the help of this very calculator!
Our Vision for the Future
We're constantly working to improve the Speaking Time Calculator based on user feedback and emerging research in communication science. Our roadmap includes:
