Automated Speech Writer

by Ron Kurtus (revised 11 May 2001)

Although computer technology cannot think for you or write an essay or presentation, there are tools that will help you organize your thoughts, as well as to stimulate your creative process. One such tool is an Automated Speech Writer that guides you through developing a short talk to give to your class.

Questions you may have include:

Can this program think for me?
How do I get an idea of something to write about?
Does it really work?

This lesson will answer those questions.

Can this program think for me?

This application won't think for you, but it can help to get your creative thought process going and to assist you in putting together a simple speech or essay. By guiding you through your speech with a series of questions and then putting your answers together in the form of a speech, you will be able to visualize what you want to say.

What about an idea?

The most important thing is that you have an idea of what you want to talk or write about. Try considering a problem or concern that you wish to discuss. Take something from class or the newspapers. Or just something for fun.

Instead of just reporting a situation or complaining about a problem, we are looking at providing some possible solutions. That is what the your teacher usually wants to hear about.

Create your speech

The method to create your speech is to simply follow the instructions and fill in the blanks. Use your mouse to move to the next area to input text. When you are through answering the questions select the "Create Speech" button to see the results of your input.

If you make a typing mistake, you may have to use the Backspace key to make a correction.

Type input

(Note: You must have a browser that it JavaScript-enabled to use this automated speech writer. Most browsers have that capability.)

1. Type in your teacher's name. For example, type the name: Mrs. Johnson (no period at end).

2. Type in your area of concern or the problem you will discuss. For example, type the words: air pollution . Another problem could be: too much homework	The problem is:

3. Now, propose the first of your three possible solutions to the problem. Use a short phrase that starts with a verb. Do not put a period at the end. For example, for your first solution to the problem, type in stop automobiles that emit fumes (no period at the end). Another example is: give shorter assignments	(start with a verb)

4. Tell a benefit or result of that solution. Complete the sentence, "This will..." For example, type in: reduce much of the smog (no period at the end). Another example is: make everyone happy	This will:

5. Now, propose a second solution. Use a short phrase, starting with a verb. For example, type in: start stricter regulations (no period at the end). Another example is: let students skip assignments	(start with verb)

6. Give a benefit for that solution by finishing the sentence, "This will..." For example, type in: cause people to think (no period at end) Another example is: get teachers mad	This will:

7. Now, propose a third solution, starting with a verb. For example, type in your third solution: make people ride bicycles (no period at end) Another example is: let school out early	(start with verb)

8. Finally, give a benefit for that solution by finishing the sentence, "This will..." For example: get people angry (no period at end) Another example is: allow kids to play more	This will:
