First, you should open your presentation slide show. Then run Presentation Time Meter and click “Start” button. Then try to express your ideas orally. This software will show you the total elapsed time.
Once you need to change the slide you click some key at your keyboard or click mouse button. In most presentation programs you will use “Space” key at your keyboard. Presentation Time Meter can track your keystrokes and put a slide speaking time in log automatically.
Once your presentation is over, click “Stop” button to stop logging process. In the final report you will see the time taken for each slide to talk and the total time that your presentation required.
Also, you can reset timer for this very slide, so it will start counting time for the 0:0. This is useful if you had got another idea in mind and want to try presenting this slide again.
Beside Presentation Time Meter there are some other tools that might help
with measuring, controlling and improving presentation performance. Check
for this purpose

marketing-related metrics.
