Practice your toast until the best line lands.
For wedding toasts, retirement send-offs, birthdays, and dinner tables.
A good toast is often 30 to 90 seconds, short enough to rehearse properly in one evening. Record it a few times, see your filler words and pace, and tighten the one line everyone will remember. No draft yet? Start with a prompt and turn your first out-loud take into the toast.

The feedback
Analyze your delivery. Refine your words.
Every filler word, weak word, and repetition gets flagged. See where your speech lands, and let the tool tighten the parts that ramble. Toggle the layers, or switch to the clean rewrite.

Highlights
Um, so, for those who don't know me, I'm Sarah, and I've, I've basically been Emma's best friend since, like, the third grade. I just want to say that, honestly, Emma is one of the kindest, most loyal, funniest people I've ever met. When she met Jack, I could, I could kind of tell right away something was different. She smiled more. She, um, laughed more. She was just happier. And that's really what love is supposed to do, you know?
What you get
Master it in one evening
A toast runs 30 to 90 seconds, so five full run-throughs take less than fifteen minutes. Record a take, see your filler words, pace, and a transcript, then go again. By the third take, you can usually hear the difference yourself.
Tighten the line that matters
Every good toast hangs on one line: the end of the story, the sentence about who they are, or the raise of the glass. Try this tonight: record a 60-second toast with one short story, one line about the person, and a clear close. The transcript shows you where that line got buried.
Find the line by talking
No draft yet? Start with a prompt and a timer. Speaking out loud often finds the line faster than staring at a blank note. It is free, and it runs in your browser on any phone or laptop.

Common questions
How long should a toast be?
Aim for 30 to 90 seconds. A wedding toast can stretch a little longer, but almost every toast improves when it stays under two minutes. One short story, one sentence about the person, then raise the glass. If your practice take runs past 90 seconds, cut the second story, not the tribute line.
Can I practice a toast the night before?
Yes. A toast is short enough that one evening can be enough: run it out loud four or five times, check the filler words and pace on each take, and stop once the closing line comes out clean twice in a row. Run it once more in the morning and you are in good shape.
Is toast practice free?
The basic feedback is, yes. Free practice gives you filler-word and pace feedback, plus a transcript of every take, no credit card needed. For a 60-second toast, that is usually all it takes. The fuller speech analysis, with pauses, intonation, and a rewrite, is part of Pro.
What if I have not written anything yet?
Start by talking, not writing. Record a 60-second answer to a simple prompt: what is one story about this person only you can tell? The transcript from that take becomes your draft, and the best line in it usually becomes the toast.
Do I need to install an app?
No. speaking.app runs in the browser on any phone or laptop, so you can practice in the hotel room or the kitchen the night before. Allow microphone access when the browser asks, and you are ready to record.
