## What is filibuster?

Filibuster turns any topic into a lively spoken monologue. Choose a suggested topic or write your own, pick a duration or keep the speech going until you stop it, and listen as the app generates remarks and reads them aloud in real time.

Use Filibuster for playful debate practice, background banter, speech warmups, creative prompts, or a quick dose of civic theater. The app is designed for entertainment and family-safe spoken remarks, with suggested topic categories for workplace, religion, civic life, and culture.

Features:

- Generate spoken remarks from custom or suggested topics.
- Stream text into speech as remarks are created.
- Run for a timed duration or continue until you yield the floor.
- Adjust playback speed, pitch, and available iOS voices.
- View the generated transcript while the speech is in progress.
