How to use the Speech Writer.
Write for speaking rather than silent reading. Use short clauses, deliberate pauses and a realistic duration based on the speaker's pace.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Choose the occasion, audience and speaking duration. Draft an opening, a small number of spoken points and a closing action; read it aloud to adjust pauses and remove phrases that are hard to say.
- What you provide
- Occasion, audience and personal notes.
- What you get
- Timed speech draft with delivery cues.

Example input
Write a short welcome for new volunteers. The first activity is sorting donated books in pairs. Ask volunteers to set damaged books aside and bring questions to the coordinator. No organization name supplied.
Completed example
Welcome, and thank you for giving your time today. Each book we sort will be easier for the next reader to find. We will begin by working in pairs. Choose a box together, sort the books, and set any damaged copies aside for the coordinator to review. There is no need to rush or guess where something belongs. If you are unsure about a book or need help with a box, please ask. We want everyone to feel comfortable with the process. Before we begin, what questions do you have?

Decisions and troubleshooting.
How can I check whether the speech fits the time?
Time a spoken rehearsal at your own pace. Allow space for pauses and audience reactions rather than relying only on word count.
Why does the script sound like an essay?
Shorten clauses, use direct address and replace dense transitions with spoken signposts. Keep one idea per breath where practical.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
