Bruce Speech is a complete practice room for high school speech and debate — every event, every timer, every draw, in one app that works entirely offline. TWELVE EVENTS, PROPERLY BUILT Extemp. Lincoln-Douglas. Original Oratory. Informative. Public Forum. Policy. World Schools. Dramatic, Humorous, Duo, and Program Oral Interpretation. Congress. Each one knows its own format: the real speech lengths, the real speaking order, the real structure. Lincoln-Douglas runs 1AC through 2AR with cross-examination in the right places. Congress tracks the docket, the sponsor and affirmative/negative cycle, precedence and recency, with a full set of presiding officer tools. A TIMER THAT BEHAVES LIKE A JUDGE Time signals at the intervals you actually get in a round, with sound and haptics, so you learn to feel your grace period instead of watching a clock. Lock your phone or switch apps mid-speech — the timer keeps its place and hands back the right time when you return. A BUILDER FOR EVERY FORMAT Write a speech the way the event is scored. Extemp walks you from attention-getting device through link, significance, thesis, and preview. Oratory shapes an opening into a problem and a call to action. Interp works from theme to cutting to climax. Every finished piece lands in an archive you can reopen, revise, and rehearse against. 300+ TOPICS THAT DON'T EXPIRE Extemp questions, Lincoln-Douglas resolutions, Public Forum and Policy and World Schools motions, oratory and informative starting points, interp themes, and a full congressional docket. Every one is written at the level of the standing question rather than this week's headline — no dates, no officeholders, no single news events. The bank you draw from in October still works in April, and next season. THREE LANGUAGES, ALL THE WAY DOWN English, 简体中文, and Español — not just the menus, but every prompt, every resolution, every motion, every chapter of the guide. BUILT TO LEARN FROM A twelve-chapter guide covers each event, the signal ladder, prep strategy, and the archive — and it reads from the live app, so what it shows you is what you'll actually see in a round. MADE FOR YOUR SCREEN iPhone and iPad, with a sidebar and readable column widths on larger displays. Three looks: Midnight, Daylight, and Chamber. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING Bruce Speech has no network code at all. Nothing you write leaves your device, nothing is collected, and everything works on airplane mode in a tournament hallway with no signal. "The first step to making the greatest speech is to open your mouth."
