Orate — Speak More. Fear Less. Public speaking is a skill. Like any skill, it gets better with practice. Orate gives you a low-pressure way to practice every day — no audience, no judgment, just reps. How it works: Get a random prompt and speak for two minutes. That's it. No preparation, no slides — just you and your voice. When you're done, your speech is automatically transcribed and reviewed by AI — then you can listen back and decide whether to share it with the community for peer evaluation. Real feedback from real speakers. When you submit a speech, other Orate users rate it on clarity, pace, confidence, and filler words. They can even leave you a short voice note. You'll do the same for theirs — because evaluating others makes you a sharper speaker too. Get instant AI evaluation on every speech — before, alongside, or instead of peer review. No waiting. No scheduling. Just speak and improve. What you'll improve: • Thinking on your feet • Self-awareness • Delivery • Vocabulary — break the "um", "uh", and "like" habit Built for busy people. Two minutes. No scheduling. No prep. Just open the app and go.
