Hours from 8am to 5pm - calculate as you type

8am to 5pm is how many hours? Typically, you need to find a calculator, calculate the hours worked and then copy it over. This process takes time and you can easily make mistakes.

With Text Blaze, you can automate the entire process and calculate your work hours as you type. Check out the examples below to see how it works.

Just give me the number!

Need to just type the hours and minutes, without the full sentence? No problem! The snippet below behaves exactly like the snippet above, but the output is just a number - the hours and minutes. Give it a try!
