Turn a talk into timed cue cards, rehearse each section with a real clock, and compare measured section durations with your plan. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Outline, create up to 12 named cue cards with prompts and time budgets, or load the example outline. Save the outline. 2. Tap Rehearse outline, start the clock, and advance each cue when you finish speaking. Pause or resume as needed. 3. Finish the final cue to save a completed timing review. Reopen a saved run and export the section-by-section report. Existing microphone-based practice, on-device speech analysis, session history and trend tools remain available as separate workflows. WHAT TO KNOW Run of Show measures manual cue transitions and does not listen to or grade speech. Targets are user choices, not recommended speaking speeds. Backgrounding pauses the timer. Incomplete discarded runs are not saved. Each cue supports 5–1,800 seconds. iPhone and iPad.
