Anyone can ask an AI to write a speech. Getting one that actually sounds like you, doesn't invent things that didn't happen, and is ready to stand up and deliver — that takes more than a prompt. Words When It Counts is a speechwriting system built for one moment: the eulogy, the wedding toast, the thank-you, the congratulations — the speech you only get one shot at. WHAT IT COSTS, UP FRONT - The app itself is free to download. No account, no subscription, ever. - Writing your own speech in The Desk is free, always. - Generating an AI-written speech is $12.99, one-time, and includes 3 free refinements on that speech. - Table Read — an AI reshape of a speech you wrote yourself — is $1.99, and includes 2 reshape passes. - The Lectern (practice mode) is free to open, with an optional one-time $0.99 unlock for additional practice features. - If a generation fails or gets declined, you're not charged — you're sent back to fix your answers at no cost. WHY NOT JUST USE A GENERAL AI CHATBOT? You don't need to know how to prompt. Answer a few plain questions about the person and the moment — your relationship, a memory, how they made people feel — and the app turns that into a properly structured, occasion-specific speech. It won't put words in your mouth. Every speech is built around a simple rule: nothing goes in that could be factually wrong and wasn't something you actually told it. No invented memories, no fabricated quotes, no guessed-at details standing in for real ones. It's not one draft — it's a pipeline. Every generated speech goes through a first pass and a second AI-driven pass that tightens pacing and phrasing, the way a second set of eyes would, before you ever see the result. WHAT'S INSIDE - Generate — answer a few guided questions, get a complete first draft written for your specific occasion - The Desk — prefer to write it yourself? Start from a blank page, no AI required - Table Read — send your own Desk draft through an AI reshape pass that tightens tone, structure, and phrasing without inventing anything you didn't write - The Lectern — a teleprompter-style practice mode so you can rehearse actually delivering it, with adjustable pacing, text size, and a timer No account. No sign-up. No running chat history sitting next to your other conversations. This is a single-purpose tool for a single important moment — private, focused, and done when you're done. Find the words. Then go say them.
