Frequently Asked Questions

SpeechCraft guides you through a series of thoughtful prompts about your relationship, memories, and the person you're honoring. Our AI (powered by OpenAI's GPT model) then crafts a structured speech based on YOUR stories and insights. You can edit, refine, and regenerate sections until it feels authentically yours.

No! SpeechCraft works entirely in your browser without requiring an account, email, or password. Your speeches are saved locally in your browser's storage, keeping everything private and secure.

Most users spend 10-20 minutes answering prompts and another 5-10 minutes reviewing and editing the AI-generated draft. The process is designed to be thoughtful but not time-consuming.

Not if you provide specific details! The AI generates speeches based on the stories, qualities, and memories YOU share. The more specific and personal your input, the more authentic the output. We also encourage editing the draft to add your unique voice and inside jokes.

Yes! Each speech generator includes a tone slider (e.g., Funny ↔ Heartfelt, Celebratory ↔ Solemn) so you can control the emotional balance. You can also regenerate sections with different tone instructions.

You can regenerate any section of your speech individually, adjust your inputs and try again, or manually edit the text. The AI draft is a starting point—you have full control to refine it.

Our tool includes a length selector and real-time reading time calculator. General guidelines: wedding toasts (3-5 minutes), eulogies (5-7 minutes), graduation speeches (5-10 minutes). We'll help you stay within appropriate time limits.

Yes! We never store your speeches on our servers. Everything you create is saved locally in your browser's IndexedDB. Only YOU can access your drafts. When generating a speech, your input is sent to OpenAI's API, processed, and returned—but we don't keep copies.

Only you. Your speeches are stored locally on your device. They're not synced across devices and aren't accessible to us or anyone else. If you clear your browser data, your speeches will be deleted.

When you generate a speech, we send your input (stories, relationship details, tone preferences) to OpenAI's GPT model via Vercel AI Gateway for processing. OpenAI's API processes this data to generate your speech but doesn't use it to train models. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Yes! SpeechCraft is completely free to use. Create unlimited speeches, download PDFs, and access all features at no cost.

Currently, no. You can create as many speeches as you need without restrictions.

We may introduce optional premium features (like advanced customization or professional review services), but core speech generation will always remain free.

SpeechCraft works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We recommend using an up-to-date browser for the best experience.

No, speeches are stored locally in your browser. If you need to access a speech on another device, use the "Share" button to encode your speech in a URL, or download it as a PDF and email it to yourself.

Your drafts are automatically saved in your browser's local storage. When you return to SpeechCraft, you can access your "My Speeches" page to find all your saved drafts.

While templates can be helpful, they often feel formulaic. AI allows us to create personalized speeches that weave YOUR specific stories, relationships, and emotions into a cohesive narrative—something templates can't do.

Absolutely! Our Best Man Speech Generator is designed specifically for your role. It balances humor and heart, structures your stories effectively, and helps you nail the traditional best man toast format.

Yes. Our Eulogy Writer features compassionate prompts, relationship-specific templates (mother, father, spouse, friend, etc.), and a sensitive tone. We also provide an extensive examples library and grief resources.

We have a General AI Speech Writer for any occasion—retirement, awards, business presentations, thank-you speeches, motivational talks, and more. It's flexible and adapts to your needs.

Not at all! Think of SpeechCraft as a writing coach, not a ghostwriter. You provide the stories, memories, and insights—the AI just helps you organize and articulate them clearly. Editing and personalization are essential parts of the process.

That's entirely up to you. Many users view AI as a tool (like spell-check or grammar assistance) rather than something requiring disclosure. What matters is that the stories and emotions are genuinely yours.

AI can't feel emotion, but it can help you express yours more clearly. The authenticity comes from YOUR input—the specific memories, inside jokes, and heartfelt observations you share. The AI just helps shape them into a coherent speech.
