Concept of the app is good. File import needs a lot of work. Dropbox .....don’t use ......it’s full and Google docs which does not work for some reason. Needs to work with files on iOS. Tutorial to import via iTunes is out of date. Would of got a better rating if I’d managed to import a file.

Never got to the point where I could actually use this app

Short attention span theatre

First problem, it comes pre-loaded with what looks like at least 100 speeches from famous people that can only be deleted one at a time. I supposed if your goal is to just give other people’s speeches that might be fine, but doesn’t really seem practical. It would take forever to get these deleted and there’s really no point for someone who’s delivering their own speech to have all this cluttering up the app. Second there are only 3 ways I could find to get your own content into the app. Write it directly in the app, or import it from Dropbox or google docs. When I tried to import from google docs, it just plain threw and error and failed. When I tried to import from Dropbox, it gave an unsorted list of every possible file that could be imported from everything in my Dropbox (which is large) so I had to scroll through hundred of docs to try and find the pdf file I wanted. There was no directory structure imported nor a search feature to use to locate the file you want, just an unsorted list and after scrolling through the entire list, I’m pretty sure the one file I needed wasn’t there. Summary, with lots of useless data cluttering up the app and no good way to get your own stuff in it, major fail.

A toastmaster

I’ve been in toastmasters for about 2 years now and I can’t express enough how this app helps me organize my thoughts. I’ve been through many prompter apps and finally there is one who honors the grammar portion of it . Love the color code grammar feature that helps you really get to the meat of what you want to say. Great app!!! . I did have trouble using the video recording LOW SOUND!! Could use some updates there....but over all great app??

Import does not work at all

MuratSezer

If you will write the speech in the apps interface, that is fine. However if you try to import a word document that does not work as it promises. No google drive connection too. It does not work. Total failure. Can not use it at all.

No value

nishantyp

Playback of recorded audio doesn't work. That had value. Tts has no value, as the voice is robotic sounding. Speech to text would be more helpful to prepare for presentations.

useful

Holophonics

I found this app to be useful for presentations. It's definitely a great idea for use of the ipad.

Autoscroll is not working

scruzliving

I just bought this and it's unusable for autoscroll. It this a 4.2.1 issue..? I cannot believe it's alway been broken and no one has left as feedback regarding it.

Crashes when playing back

Drnsoi

The program has crashed every time after about eight minutes of playing back a recorded 15 minute speech. I have always been able to resume. It's great to speed up the scrolling and adjust the timing of the speeches. I love the program and would like to see this issue resolved. The scrolling works great. But I am worried that it might crash during a live presentation. I have been able to seamlessly upload and download to GoogleDocs - a great boon. Would give it a five except for the playback.

Does not work!

Gene AZ

SpeechMaker will not load .txt nor .HTML files thru iTunes! Seems there is no way to get help from developer -- his tech support section does not even list SpeechMaker!! Cheap, but not even worth the two bucks!!

Left Behind

CubbieBlueNWI

Used to be an innovative app. Hasn't been updated since 2010. The whole point is to be able to track time as you speak. But that feature doesn't work because you can't adjust the time that you want to speech to take. Therefore time passed and time remaining are irrelevant. The app crashes anytime you try to change the default time, which is always 240. If they would fix this would still be a good app. Get Teleprompt+ instead
