Speech Companion

Speech Companion is the official app of The Speech Improvement Company, the oldest speech coaching firm in the United States, founded in 1964.

Version 2.0 is a complete reimagining. What started as a simple study guide is now a professional communication platform that helps you prepare, practice, and present with confidence. This applies all communication situations from formal presentations to individual conversations. Speech Companion will help you before, during, and after your speaking.

DURING: Present with Confidence • Teleprompter: Scrolling scripts with adjustable speed and font size • Note Cards: Swipeable cards for natural, glance-and-go delivery • Outlines: Structured reference while you speak • CarPlay: Practice speeches hands-free during your commute

AFTER: Practice and Improve • Audio & Video Recording: Capture practice sessions and review playback • TalkTrack: Mark key moments during a recording for quick review • Word Tracker: Detect filler words like "um" and "uh" with real-time haptic alerts • BioSpeech: Monitor your heart rate with Apple Watch during presentations and see how nerves affect your delivery • AI Coach: Get personalized feedback on structure, word choice, and persuasiveness

COACHING COLLABORATION • Work directly with a TSIC coach or any communication professional • Share projects, receive inline comments, and message your coach in real time • CoachNudge: Smart practice reminders tied to your presentation dates

WORKS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES • iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, CarPlay, and Apple Vision Pro • Web portal at aristotle.speech.net for full project management • Everything syncs automatically

WHY SPEECH COMPANION? Most apps give you AI and nothing else. Speech Companion is built on six decades of proven coaching methodology, the same approach used to train executives at companies like Amazon, Bain Capital, and Pfizer. Our AI doesn't guess at what good speaking looks like. It knows, because our coaches wrote the book on it. Thirteen of them, actually.

Free to download. Free to use.
