Speaker Timer Mac App?

Speech Timer for Mac OS XWe’ve been getting Google and Bing searches looking for an OS X version of Speech Timer. I wonder why do people want a speaker’s timer on the Mac? Is it for connecting to an overhead projector for displaying time signals? Or perhaps it’s not for Toastmasters speeches after all, but for a presentation aid for the typical PowerPoint or Keynote presentations?

The 11″ MacBook Air is light and pretty portable – only slightly bigger than an iPad. However, an iPhone or iPod touch is even more practical to carry for timing speeches in Toastmasters presentations. Which intrigues me to inquire more why some people seem to want Speech Timer for Mac OS X.
