From a page to the stage

A complete lecture workflow.
Your voice at the center.

Move from source material to a talk you can review, rehearse, and deliver.

01

Bring your material

Combine selectable-text PDFs, Word (.docx), TXT and Markdown, pasted text, public webpages, or public YouTube links. Set your audience and speaking style.

02

Shape your talk

Review AI-prepared slides and a matching full script. Edit the draft, add media, and keep delivery cues in private speaker notes.

03

Rehearse & present

Settle your pacing with a timer and adjustable reader. Present in a separate audience window, then open questions and polls when you choose.

In the room. Online. Together.

One lecture.
One shared conversation.

Display a QR code in the room and send the same session link to remote attendees. Both audiences follow your slides and participate on their own devices.

Invite everyone in

Participants join through a QR code, session code, or link without creating a Lectern account.

Choose the moment

Open questions and polls during the lecture. Review responses and publish results when you are ready.

Keep your script private

Your notes, timer, and reading controls stay in the presenter workspace. Share the audience window with attendees.

Prepared with AI. Made yours by you.

Less setup.
More presence.

01

Slides and script, together

Keep the ideas on screen aligned with the fuller explanation in your speaker script. Review every AI draft before presenting.

02

Questions that belong

Generate question suggestions from the finished slides and notes. Review the suggested placement and reason, then choose what to add.

03

Read your way

Adjust reading size and scrolling, choose light or dark mode, and work in English, Arabic, or French with right-to-left Arabic support.

AI preparation requires sign-in, a completed profile, and enabled AI access. Public YouTube analysis requires enabled Gemini access. Scanned PDFs need OCR first.

Made for meaningful talks

Teach an idea.
Lead a workshop.
Open a conversation.

For educators, workshop leaders, keynote speakers, and community voices.

Can I try it before creating an account?

The sample experience is available without an account. Creating a talk requires sign-up or sign-in; AI preparation also requires a completed profile and enabled access.

Can remote and in-person audiences participate together?

Yes. Both audiences use the same live session for slides, questions, polls, and shared results. Use your usual video conference for remote voice and camera. Participants need an internet connection.

Can the audience read my speaker notes?

The audience display shows the content you choose to share. Keep notes private by sharing the audience window rather than mirroring your full desktop.

Where can I create my first talk?
