Welcome to SpeechWriter AI! This guide will walk you through creating your first speech from start to finish. In just a few minutes, you’ll have a polished, professional speech ready to deliver.

​
What You’ll Need

Before you begin, think about:
  • The occasion: Wedding, business presentation, keynote, eulogy, etc.
  • Key points: 3-5 main ideas you want to convey
  • Tone: Formal, casual, emotional, inspirational, etc.
  • Audience: Who will be listening to your speech
Spend a few minutes jotting down your key points before you start. This will help you get better results from the AI.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

1

Select Your Speech Type

Start by choosing the type of speech you need from our variety of options:
  • Wedding toasts - For best man, maid of honor, or parent speeches
  • Business presentations - For team meetings, pitches, or reports
  • Keynote addresses - For conferences or major events
  • Educational speeches - For academic presentations
  • Special occasions - Baby showers, eulogies, anniversaries, and more
The speech type helps the AI understand the context and generate appropriate content.
Not sure which type to choose? Select the one that most closely matches your occasion. You can always refine the output later.

Enter Your Key Points

This is the most important step. Enter the main ideas you want to include in your speech.Example for a wedding toast:
  • How I met the groom in college
  • His dedication to his career and family
  • The first time he talked about meeting his bride
  • Wishes for their future together
Example for a business presentation:
  • Q4 sales exceeded targets by 15%
  • New product launch in 3 markets
  • Team expansion plans for next quarter
  • Thank the team for their hard work
Be specific! Instead of “talk about friendship,” write “met in college, road trip to California, always there during tough times.”

Choose Your Tone and Style

Select the tone that matches your occasion and personal style:
  • Formal: Professional, structured, traditional
  • Casual: Conversational, relaxed, friendly
  • Emotional: Heartfelt, touching, sentimental
  • Inspirational: Motivating, uplifting, encouraging
  • Humorous: Light-hearted, entertaining, witty
The tone dramatically affects how your speech comes across, so choose carefully.
Consider your audience and setting. A humorous tone might not be appropriate for a eulogy, while a very formal tone might feel stiff at a casual wedding.

Generate Your Speech

Click the generate button and let the AI work its magic! The process typically takes just a few seconds.The AI will:
  • Structure your key points into a coherent narrative
  • Apply the appropriate tone and style
  • Add transitions and connecting phrases
  • Create an engaging opening and memorable closing
5

Review Your Generated Speech

Once generated, read through your speech carefully:
  • Does it flow naturally?
  • Are all your key points included?
  • Does the tone match what you wanted?
  • Is the length appropriate for your time slot?
The first generation is often very good, but you may want to make adjustments. See our Editing and Refinement guide for tips.

​
What Happens Next?

After generating your speech, you have several options:

Use It As-Is

If you’re happy with the result, you can use it immediately. Copy it to your notes or print it out.

Refine It

Make small edits to personalize it further or adjust specific phrases.

Generate Again

Try different key points or tones to see alternative versions.

Combine Versions

Generate multiple versions and take the best parts from each.

​
Common First-Time Questions

Speech length varies based on the number of key points you provide. Generally:
  • 3 key points = 2-3 minutes
  • 5 key points = 4-6 minutes
  • 7+ key points = 7-10 minutes
You can always ask for a shorter or longer version in your inputs.
No problem! You can:
  • Generate again with different inputs
  • Adjust your key points to be more specific
  • Try a different tone
  • Use the result as a starting point and edit it manually
Absolutely! Feel free to generate as many versions as you need. Many users create 2-3 versions and combine the best elements.
Not at all. The AI generates a solid foundation, but you should personalize it with your own voice, specific names, anecdotes, or adjustments. Think of it as a professional draft, not a final product.
Start with the tone that feels most natural for the occasion. If you’re unsure, try generating with two different tones and see which resonates more with you.
Once generated, you can copy the text and save it anywhere you like - a document, notes app, email to yourself, etc.
