The problem
Note cards fight the "don't read your speech" rule
Toastmasters evaluators mark you down for reading word-for-word, but most speakers still want a safety net for structure, transitions, and that one statistic they can't afford to forget. Shuffling paper note cards on the lectern looks exactly like what it is — reading. SpeakerView gives you the same safety net as full-screen prompts on a phone or iPad, glanced at rather than read from.
Full-screen cue cards
One idea per card, sized for a quick glance
Write your speech as a plain text file with a line of three dashes between each cue card — an opening, each main point, your transitions, your closing. SpeakerView displays each card full-screen in large type, so a one-second glance is enough to find your place, rather than losing your audience while you search a page of paragraphs.
Pacing timer
Built for timed-speech projects
Every Toastmasters speech project has a time limit, and going under or over can mean disqualification from a contest. SpeakerView's pacing timer sets a target duration and shows a color-coded time bar next to your progress through your cards — green when you're on pace, orange or red when you're running long — so you know instantly rather than checking a clock at the back of the room.
Duration mode
Set your speech's time limit (say, 5–7 minutes for a typical project) and watch the bar count down from when you start speaking.
Rehearse the same way you'll deliver
Practice with the same cards and the same timer you'll use on contest day, so pacing becomes muscle memory before you're at the lectern.
Hands-free advancing
Keep both hands free for gestures
Good speech delivery uses your hands. SpeakerView works with a small Bluetooth presentation remote or a camera shutter remote, so you can advance through your cue cards from a pocket-sized clicker instead of tapping a screen — keeping your hands free and your eyes on the audience, not on your phone.
