Before and after
Here's how we helped a best man turn a rambling 12-minute speech into a tight, laugh-filled 7 minutes.
"Good evening everyone. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Dave, and I've had the pleasure of being Tom's best friend since we were both in elementary school together back in 1998. That's over 25 years of friendship, which is actually longer than most marriages last these days, statistically speaking. In fact, I remember the very first day we met. It was a Tuesday, I think, or maybe a Wednesday, but I remember it was raining..."
"I've known Tom for 25 years. [PAUSE]
And in that time, I've learned three things about him:
One, he's never on time. [LAUGH]
Two, he's loyal to a fault.
And three... he's the luckiest man alive. [PAUSE, LOOK AT BRIDE]
Because Sarah, somehow, you saw past the terrible punctuality..."

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the duration estimate?
Very accurate. We calculate based on word count, account for pauses and emphasis (which add time), and adjust for nervousness (most people speak 10-15% faster when nervous, but stumble on transitions which adds time back). Typical variance is ±30 seconds on a 7-minute speech.
Can I edit the speech after getting markup?
Yes. You can accept suggestions one by one, tweak the wording, and re-analyze as many times as needed (with Speech Pass or Pro). The editor supports full undo/redo, so you can experiment without losing your original draft.
What's the difference between Speech Pass and Pro?
Speech Pass ($7 one-time) gives you 15 speech analyses over 14 days — perfect if you're prepping for one wedding or event. Pro ($14/month) includes speech analysis PLUS all other writing lanes (comedy, email, blog, social, dating), regeneration, and 50 analyses/month with longer character limits. If you only need speech help for one event, get Speech Pass. If you write regularly, get Pro.
Will this make my speech sound robotic or AI-written?
No. We don't rewrite your speech for you. You wrote it — it's your voice, your stories, your jokes. We just show you where it's too long, where to pause for effect, and suggest tightening weak sections. You accept or reject every suggestion. The final speech is 100% yours.
Can I print the cue cards?
Yes. Cue cards open in a print-friendly view formatted for standard 5x7 index cards. Large, readable text with pause markers and beat timestamps. Print at home or at a print shop (or save as PDF from your browser). Available with Speech Pass or Pro (not the free check).
