Speaking reps for every student โ 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. You get a classroom view. They get reps.
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
See which students are practicing, how often, and where they're stuck. CSV export for your own gradebook or progress reports.
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 โ 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.
- โข Assign prompts that match the event (extemp, persuasive, informative).
- โข See which students are actually practicing outside of meetings.
- โข Pull a CSV for your program's own growth reporting.
ELA teachers, grades 4โ8
The oral presentation unit is valuable โ 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.
- โข Fits a 5-minute warm-up slot without prep.
- โข Student-facing feedback is about the speaking, not the speaker.
- โข Maps to Speaking & Listening standards your admin already knows.
