Televic CoCon Advanced Speech Timers - 71.98.1118

Product Overview

CoCon Advanced Speech Timers is a software plugin for the CoCon Discussion module that adds configurable speech timer templates to the meeting control workflow. Timer templates are linked to agenda topics, allowing the meeting manager or operator to automatically apply predefined time limits when moving through agenda items during a session. CoCon Discussion is required as a prerequisite. This plugin is appropriate for formal meetings—council sessions, parliamentary proceedings, and structured boardroom meetings—where speaking time must be enforced consistently across agenda topics and speaker turns.

Product Description

CoCon Advanced Speech Timers extends the standard timer capabilities of CoCon Discussion by enabling pre-configured timer templates that attach directly to agenda topics. When the operator advances to an agenda item, the associated timer template is automatically applied—setting speaking time limits without requiring the operator to configure timers manually for each item. Timer templates can define different time allocations for different roles (e.g., primary speakers vs. response speakers) and can vary by agenda topic type. This reduces operator workload during live sessions and ensures consistent time management across complex agendas. Results and timer logs are recorded in the CoCon database alongside other meeting records.
