Speaking reps for every student — without adding another video pile to grade.
Bright Speaker gives your students structured, private practice on the things that actually make a speaker: filler words, pacing, and eye contact. Today they can try the browser demo; pilot teacher review tools are still being shaped with classrooms.
Filler-word coaching
The live counter catches "um," "uh," "like," and "you know" as students speak. Over a few sessions, the pause habit starts to stick.
Eye contact in frame
On-device camera analysis shows students a friendly reminder when they drift off-camera. The video itself never leaves the Chromebook.
60-second reps
Students pick a prompt and speak for one minute. Short enough to fit in a warm-up, long enough to build real speaking stamina.
Classroom view
Pilot review tools show anonymized and teacher-scoped evidence from classroom trials. CSV-style exports are roadmap work, not a live grading system.
Aligned to SL standards
Prompts map to Common Core Speaking & Listening strands: presentation (SL.4), clarity (SL.6), and collaborative conversations (SL.1).
Private by design
Student video is processed in the browser and never uploaded. We store transcripts and scores. No ads, no reselling, no surprise data flows.
How a week with Bright Speaker looks
A realistic cadence — nothing added to your prep, and no grading pile.
Built for the coach and teacher we were thinking about from day one
Speech & debate coaches
You can't run 1:1 drills with 30 kids. Structured reps between practices are how an average speaker becomes a varsity-level one. Use Bright Speaker as homework reps, as pre-tournament prep, or as open-lab practice during rotations.
- • Choose prompts that match the event (extemp, persuasive, informative).
- • Use pilot evidence to understand whether students are practicing.
- • Treat CSV/export workflows as roadmap items for paid programs.
ELA teachers, grades 4–8
The oral presentation unit is valuable — and exhausting to run at scale. Bright Speaker gives every student low-stakes reps leading up to the real presentation, so the presentation day feels less scary and more earned.
- • Fits a 5-minute warm-up slot without prep.
- • Student-facing feedback is about the speaking, not the speaker.
- • Maps to Speaking & Listening standards your admin already knows.
Try it with a classroom this semester
Free 30-day pilots, no install for the browser demo, and a 20-minute onboarding call with the founder. Managed sign-in is roadmap work for paid or district partners. We're looking for a small number of classrooms to help us make this product what it needs to be.
Speaking is a muscle. Bright Speaker gives every student the reps.
