What to try next
Make one short take
Record or paste a few sentences first; the useful coaching starts with a real attempt.
Draft coverage
Ready for your first take
Your saved cards are loaded. Record or paste a take to compare it.
Opening & ending
Ready to compare
Complete a take to check whether both ends of the speech landed.
Pauses / stalls
Timestamp data unavailable
Browser recognition does not provide reliable word timestamps.
Filler words
No transcript yet
Simple word matching is a coaching signal, not a judgment.
A private, practical rehearsal loop
Start with one complete take, then use the actual duration and words-per-minute readout to decide what to change. The recorder creates a local browser audio object for playback and download; ToastBuddy does not upload or retain your audio.
Live recognition is a browser capability, not a ToastBuddy transcription service. Some browsers send recognition audio to their own remote speech provider, and some do not support it at all. If recognition is unavailable, recording, the timer, manual card advance, and pasted-text analysis still work.
Paste cards separated by blank lines to see draft coverage, skipped or improvised phrases, and opening and ending coverage. When browser recognition returns multiple segments, ToastBuddy can estimate pause and card timing from callback arrival; treat those timing details as a rehearsal signal, not a transcript-grade timestamp. For a clean target estimate before recording, try the free speech timer; then make large prompts with the cue card maker. Read our privacy policy for the broader site details.
