Public Speaker

Public Speaker helps you compose a speech on any topic and practise it before you face your audience. You don't need training in rhetoric or experience on stage to give a presentation, speak at a conference or win decision-makers over to your idea.

Build your speech outline from ready-made elements or templates, fill it with your ideas and arguments, rehearse it with the built-in recorder, then listen back and evaluate your performance. Public Speaker suggests what to work on next.

COMPOSE • 32 ready-made speech elements, such as an anecdote, a quote, a rhetorical question, a pause or an appeal to authority. Each one comes with a description of when and how to use it. • Three templates for a quick start: a classical speech, an informative speech and Monroe's Motivated Sequence for motivational speeches. • Give each part your own title, a note with the keywords you want to remember and the emotion you want to convey. • The app adds up the time of every part as you go, so you can see whether your outline fits your time limit. • Share your speech outline by email or with any other app.

PRACTISE • Four difficulty levels, from a prompter that shows your outline and plays a sound for each new part to a run where the clock is your only hint. • Random ambient sounds (a cough, a ringing phone, a slamming door) test whether anything can throw you off. You can finish with a round of applause. • Custom settings let you combine the challenges your own way. • Every run-through is recorded, so you can always come back to it.

EVALUATE • Listen to your recording and mark when each part of the speech began. • Mark the moments that went great and the ones that need work, and add comments to them. • The evaluation report shows which parts were too short or too long, sums up your timing and suggests a difficulty level for your next run. • Practise with a friend or family member. Together you can go back to the moments that went great and the ones that need work.

For more experienced speakers, Public Speaker works as a dedicated notebook for public speeches.

YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU No account and no ads. Your speeches and recordings are stored only on your phone.

Public Speaker was created as part of the project "Incubation of social innovations in the area of lifelong learning of adults", co-funded by the European Union under the Operational Programme Knowledge Education Development 2014-2020.
