Speakbound

Features

Memorize your talk, word for word. Speakbound helps speakers, presenters, and students learn any speech, presentation, or poem by heart — then rehearse it out loud until it's automatic. HOW IT WORKS 1. Paste your speech. 2. Hide the words — first letters, random words, whole lines, or fill-in-the-blank. 3. Recite it out loud. Speakbound listens and scores you word by word, showing exactly which words you dropped. 4. Rehearse against your real time slot with the built-in timer. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO GET UP AND SPEAK Ā· Conference talks, sales pitches, and board presentations Ā· Class presentations, debate cases, and mock trial openings Ā· Poems and recitation competitions Ā· Wedding toasts and best man speeches Ā· Club speeches — go noteless WHY SPEAKBOUND Ā· Word-by-word scoring. Not "how did you sound" — did you say the right words. Ā· Works on a plane, backstage, anywhere with no signal — your library, the hiding modes and the timer never need one. Ā· Nothing is recorded, and no audio ever reaches us. Speakbound asks your phone to transcribe offline, and tells you on screen the rare times it can't. Ā· No ads. Not on the free plan, not ever. Ā· Spaced repetition so it stays learned, not crammed. FREE TO START 5 texts and the whole learning method: all five hiding modes — first letter, random words, whole lines, fill in the blanks and progressive — plus read-back, the rehearsal timer, spaced repetition, and 10 scored recitations to try the thing that makes this worth paying for. No ads, no time limit. SPEAKBOUND PRO Unlimited scored recitations and unlimited texts. Everything else — every hiding mode, the rehearsal timer, spaced repetition, and backing up your library — is free on any plan. $4.99/month Ā· $19.99/year (7-day free trial) Ā· $39.99 once, forever. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
