Product Description
American Innovative’s Roadshow Lecture Timer/Travel alarm is another Product that Makes Sense. Public speaking makes even the most confident individuals anxious. Standing in front of a room full of people is hard enough. Add a tight time constraint and that's the formula for one of the world's most common phobias. While picturing the audience in their underwear (may) help to alleviate the stress of being in the spotlight, the Roadshow excels at alleviating the other half of our fear of public speaking: timing. The solution is simple - 6 colored lamps across the top illuminate sequentially (in Auto mode) or change at intervals of your choosing (in Manual mode). Perfect for toasts, lectures, speeches, and presentations- a quick glance at the lighted pacing device helps keep you on track. The Roadshow is also a great travel companion thanks to its easy- set alarm. It is the thinnest and lightest travel alarm product in its class, (14mm wide, 3-ounce) and the informative LCD display is designed to ensure easy use. In Alarm mode, the tri-region display clearly presents the current time, the wake time and the status (On or Off).

5.0 out of 5 stars
A speakers best friend,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
One of the hardest things for me is staying within my time limits when speaking in front of my Toastmasters club. This little timer is exactly what I needed. It is easy to set up and use, and the visual indicators are easy to see. This should help me to keep within my time limits from now on. I was eager to see if the LED's were visible from 'behind' the timer. I wanted to know if this could be used by the time keeper at the club to show the time to the entire room. But the LED's are only visible from the front and from above the timer. So this will work great on the podium, but not for the entire room. Still... I love this clock and I'm going to recommend that my Toastmasters club buy their own.

This review is from: American Innovative Roadshow Lecture Timer (Kitchen)
Pro: (1) The countdown lights feature is simply ingenious. (2) Solid build quality. Will take abuse and will last. (3) Simple operation. (4) Clearly readable display. (5) Flush face operating buttons mean you're not going to accidently push a button while moving notes, etc.
Con: (1) The protective cover that shields the unit is extremely difficult to open. I removed mine; no small task seeing as how it's riveted into the case. Fire up your Dremel tool. (2) The buttons "click" or "clunk" too much and are clearly picked up in some podium/microphone scenarios. Soft touch buttons would solve that problem. Wish: (1) That the protective cover could be more easily opened or that it was manufactured in such a way that the user could choose to easily remove it altogether. (2) That the lights were arranged so that they would not be be visible to the audience if you're working in the open and the unit is lying flat on a table. A slightly angled display (like on many hand held calculators) would solve that. (3) That a model was offered with a small, stereo .mp3 recorder with a swing-out USB plug built in (like a Flip video recorder) so you'd have your timer and recorder, a speaker's two main tools, all in one unit with no cables to carry. (4) That I had this device 30 years ago and that every speaker had one today! Bottom line: You'll search the world in vain for a better speaker timer. This is the one to buy; easily a five star product. To the manufacturer: very well done, just keep refining it.

This review is from: American Innovative Roadshow Lecture Timer (Kitchen)
It gave out on us shortly after purchasing. It's not the battery - just a dud maybe?
