About

Speech Cue

Features
Read full description

Speech Cue is a producer in your ear for talks, lectures and presentations. LEARN YOUR LINES Import your slides (PowerPoint or PDF). Your speaker notes become your script, or Speech Cue writes one in the style you choose. Say each slide from memory and see exactly which words you missed. Read along, then with prompts, then from memory. A coloured dot on every slide shows how well you know it. REHEARSE ALOUD Sam, your coach, listens to a whole run-through: what you skipped, where you rushed, where a line tripped you. Words you said twice are marked on the script as you go. Afterwards you get a written report: the script line by line, a coach's note on each line that gave you trouble, and the chance to hear how you said it, hear it said well, and say it again. GO LIVE On the day, put in your earbuds. As you finish each slide, Speech Cue says the first words of the next one, and nothing else, so you keep your flow. Dry up and tap HELP ME for your next line. Only you hear it; nobody in the room does. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your slides, reports and progress stay on your phone. Speech recognition for learning and rehearsing happens on the phone. A live presentation is never recorded. Rehearsal recordings are kept on your phone only, and you can turn them off. Speech Cue needs earbuds to speak cues, a microphone, and an internet connection for the AI features.
