Hear your talk, sermon, speech, or presentation before you give it.
Whatever you're about to stand up and deliver, Harkable reads your written remarks aloud in a natural voice, so you can catch the lines that land flat, feel the pacing, time it, and rehearse it hands-free. No subscription. No app. Just the file.
A talk that reads beautifully on the page can die out loud. The sentence you love runs out of breath, the joke needs a beat you didn't write in, the transition that looked smooth just isn't. You don't discover any of it silently at your desk, you discover it the moment you say it, which is usually thirty seconds into the real thing.
Harkable moves that discovery earlier. Drop your script in, a sermon, a keynote, a wedding toast, a class presentation, pick a voice, and a few minutes later you have an MP3 of the whole thing. Play it back and you'll hear exactly what a room will hear: where it drags, where it rushes, where a sentence needs to be three shorter ones.
Then it doubles as rehearsal. Put it on during the commute or a walk and let the talk get into your ears until it's familiar, so you're working from memory and eye contact instead of reading off the page. Pay-as-you-go fits the rhythm: you convert a draft the week you're giving the talk, not on a subscription that bills you every month you have nothing to say.
Before you step up to say it
It reads great, but does it land?
Silent reading hides the flat lines. Hear the whole draft out loud and the parts that don't work announce themselves, the sentence that overstays, the point that needs a pause, the ending that fizzles instead of lands.
Know your timing before the podium
"Is this five minutes or twelve?" Listen to it start to finish and you'll know before you're standing there watching the clock, in time to cut or add rather than rush or stall.
Rehearse without reading
Play your talk on repeat while you drive, walk, or do the dishes. It gets familiar in your ear, so on the day you're delivering it from memory and looking at people, not glued to your notes.
Catch the tongue-twisters and hard transitions
The phrase you can't quite say cleanly, the segue that jerks instead of turns, you find them by hearing them, not by rereading. Fix them while it's still a draft.
Sermons, toasts, and high-stakes talks
The talks that really matter, a sermon, a eulogy, a wedding toast, a big pitch, are exactly the ones worth hearing out loud first. Live with it in your ears for a few days and walk up sure of it.
What this typically costs
Most talks are short enough to be free (two MP3s a month are included). A longer address or a stretch where you're preparing several talks runs a few dollars out of a one-time credit pack that starts at $5 and never expires. You pay for the weeks you're actually preparing something, with no auto-renewing subscription in between.
What Harkable doesn't do
- A teleprompter or live delivery coach, it's for hearing and rehearsing the draft beforehand, not prompting you on stage.
- A recording in your own cloned voice, it's a clean, natural narrator so you can hear the words, not impersonate you.
- Slide design or presentation software, it reads your script, it doesn't build the deck.
- OCR on scanned, image-only files (we read text-based documents, which your script already is).
