A quiet workspace for people who have to speak

Most speaking advice is either a list of tips or a template nobody finishes. This is the middle thing: real speeches to learn from, a studio that reads your draft back to you, and a rehearsal room that keeps your pace honest — with every number on screen belonging to a real speech, a real reader or a real author.

Read what has already been said

A starter library of speeches and structures written for this app, plus public-domain speeches fetched live from Wikisource — and, first in line, whatever people have published themselves.

Write with someone looking over your shoulder

The studio watches your hook, your evidence, your landing, your filler words, your longest sentences and your readability while you type.

Say it out loud, before it counts

Set a pace, breathe first, run the teleprompter, and let the over/under clock tell you the truth about your timing.

Keep what moved you

Save the line that stopped you, argue with a page in the margin, write yourself a letter for the morning of the real thing.

Privacy, plainly

  • • Your drafts, notes, bookmarks and reading positions live in this browser. They are not uploaded.
  • • No analytics, no advertising scripts, no cookie banner.
  • • Sign-in is handled by Google or Microsoft. We store your name, e-mail and picture so your words can be attributed to you — never a password.
  • • Firestore holds only what you publish, plus anonymous counters for views, likes, dislikes and shares.
  • • Export everything, or wipe the device, from the Control Room.

You are browsing without an account, which is fine — reading is free.

Where everything comes from

Speeches published by signed-in people. These sit first on the Latest shelf, always.

Public-domain speeches fetched from Wikisource, each with its licence and a link to the original page.

The starter library: speeches and structures written for Presentation Buddy, here so the app is useful the moment it opens.

Colophon

Set in Fraunces and Newsreader, with Caveat for the notes people leave in the margins.

Made for anyone who has ever stood at the back of a room, waiting to be introduced.

No trackers, no dark patterns, no numbers that mean nothing.
