TimeMySlides

TimeMySlides (or TMS) is a C# application that help you for your public presentations.

The timer can be started/stopped by any remote presenter (the remote presenter must have a "Black Screen" function).

What it does (or can do):

• Display colored elapsed time in BIG (usefull if you are far from the screen).
• Prompt subtitles at specified time.
• Warn you at a specified time before the next subtitle.
• Offset the starting time (for training purpose).
• Map the "Black Screen" function (B key) to start/stop the timer.
