Practice your wedding speech until you can look up from the page.
For the father of the bride, the maid of honor, the best man, and the couple's thank-you.
We do not write your wedding speech. Plenty of writers and generators can do that. speaking.app is where you rehearse the speech you already have: run it against the clock, hear where you rush, catch the filler that creeps in when you are nervous, and sound like you are talking to the room instead of reading from a page.

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
Time the speech before the room does
Most wedding speeches land best between two and five minutes, but almost everyone runs long once they say it out loud. Record a full run-through, check your actual time, and find the spots where you rushed past a line that deserved a pause.
Catch the nervous filler
"Um" and "so" creep in when your heart is pounding. Record your first 60 seconds, from your first line through your first story. The transcript highlights the weak words that slip in, so you can run it again until the opening is clean.
Talk to the room, not the page
Feedback on pace, pauses, and intonation shows exactly where you drop into a reading voice. Practice the delivery until your stories sound the way you naturally tell them at dinner.

Common questions
Will speaking.app write my wedding speech for me?
No, and that is on purpose. There are plenty of speech writers and generators out there, but the words land better when they are yours. speaking.app is for the rehearsal: you read your draft out loud, record it, and get feedback on your pace, filler words, pauses, and how it actually sounds in the room.
How long should a wedding speech be?
Two to five minutes is the sweet spot. A maid of honor or best man toast usually sits near the shorter end, and a parent speech can run a little longer. Almost everyone runs longer out loud than the draft suggests on paper, so record a full run-through against the timer and cut until it fits.
How many times should I rehearse a wedding speech?
Enough full run-throughs that you know the shape of it without staring at the page. For most people, that is five to ten times, spread over a week or two rather than crammed into the night before. The goal is not memorizing every word; it is knowing your opening line, your stories, and your toast well enough that nerves cannot knock you off course.
Can I upload a voice memo of me practicing?
Yes. If you have already been rehearsing into your phone, upload the recording and get the full speech analysis: a transcript, your pace, pauses, filler words, and exactly where the delivery flattens out. Uploading existing recordings is part of Pro, which is $19.99 per month or $99.99 per year.
Does the free version help with a wedding speech?
Yes. You can record practice runs for free, no credit card required, and get feedback with a transcript, filler words, and pace. The full speech analysis and uploaded voice memos are part of Pro, but the free feedback alone catches most of what makes a nervous speech hard to listen to.
