Speech Lens

The world of competitive speech and debate has long been a platform for sharpening critical thinking, advocacy, and civic engagement. Yet beneath the surface lies a stark inequity: access to high-quality coaching, resources, and feedback is often limited by geography, school funding, or socioeconomic background. Students from underrepresented or under-resourced communities frequently find themselves at a disadvantage—not due to lack of talent, but due to systemic barriers that hinder equal participation. This gap inspired the creation of SpeechLens—an AI-powered app designed to democratize debate education by providing intelligent, real-time feedback, accessible practice tools, and inclusive support for all debaters, regardless of their starting point.

The Dashboard is your personalized command center. Designed with simplicity and usability in mind, it features eight bold, tappable cards that instantly guide you to every core tool. Whether you're preparing for competition, building a case, or reviewing your progress, the dashboard seamlessly connects you to the AI Speech Coach, Debate Practice Mode, Prompt Generator, Argument Generator, Speech Feedback, Saved Arguments, Analytics, and Export tools. It’s a clear, intuitive space where everything you need is just a tap away.

Crafting strong, well-reasoned arguments no longer requires hours of research. With the AI Argument Generator, you simply enter a topic, and the app produces a complete “Pro” and “Con” breakdown. Each side includes structured points backed by evidence, real-world examples, and clear logical reasoning. Whether you're prepping for a debate round, writing an essay, or just exploring both sides of an issue, this tool ensures your arguments are informed and balanced.

Stuck trying to find something worth debating? The Debate Prompt Generator provides an endless stream of timely, thought-provoking topics tailored to your experience level. From classroom-friendly motions to championship-level prompts, this feature helps educators, students, and independent learners keep practice fresh and relevant. It’s your go-to source for sparking critical discussions or kicking off daily practice sessions.

Practice like a champion with the AI Speech Coach. Record any speech—from an intro to a full case—and receive a transcript plus real-time performance scores for clarity, confidence, and structure. Along with numerical feedback, the coach provides five personalized tips to help you improve your delivery and argument flow. This tool bridges the gap between self-practice and expert coaching—perfect for solo learners or team prep.

Simulate a real round with Debate Practice Mode. Choose your format—Lincoln-Douglas, Public Forum, World Schools, or Parliamentary—then record your opening speech. The AI instantly analyzes your argument and responds with tailored cross-examination questions or Points of Information (POIs), followed by a structured rebuttal. You can also activate the “Rebuttal Wizard,” which walks you through each response step-by-step, explaining the logic behind every counter.

Track your growth with Speech Feedback History. Every speech you’ve recorded is automatically saved in a clean, scrollable list. Tap to expand any session and view the full transcript, performance scores, and detailed AI feedback. Easily delete or share sessions, and use the built-in filter or search function to find recordings by topic or date. It’s a powerful reflection tool for debaters serious about improvement.

Organize your best ideas with the Saved Arguments section. Every time you generate a case or argument, it’s saved here for future use. Quickly browse, search, and preview your past arguments, and tap any one to expand the full topic, structure, and content. With a single click, you can export as a PDF or send via email, making it easy to share with judges, coaches, or teammates.

Visualize your progress with rich, interactive analytics. This section presents your activity—such as the number of arguments generated and speeches recorded—alongside trends in clarity and confidence scores. Tap into specific data points to see feedback from those sessions or zoom in to study your growth over time. It’s an inspiring, data-driven way to stay accountable and celebrate your development.

Turn your work into polished deliverables with the Share & Export feature. Whether it’s a speech transcript, feedback report, or a fully formed case, you can instantly convert it into a clean PDF or email draft. Add personal notes, adjust the subject line, and share directly from the app. This tool makes it easy to submit assignments, send files to coaches, or keep a backup for future reference.
