SpeakHints positions itself as a personal speech assistant rather than a meeting recorder. It transcribes whatever is being said around you — through your microphone or your computer's system audio — and then feeds that context to large language models that generate short, actionable hints you can glance at while you speak. The result is a discreet teleprompter-like assistant that helps you sound prepared and articulate without scripting every word.
The tool is aimed at anyone who speaks live under mild pressure: online meeting participants, interviewees, sales reps, and presenters. Because it listens to system audio as well as the microphone, it can follow both sides of a conversation, which makes it useful for answering unexpected questions or summarizing what was just discussed. A set of built-in quick hints (translate, summarize, collect action points) covers common needs, and you can customize your own hints for a personalized experience.
SpeakHints runs on macOS, iOS, Windows, and Android, with watchOS noted as coming soon, and it supports more than 30 languages. The company emphasizes privacy: hints appear in a small overlay visible only to the user, speech is processed securely, and no data is stored without explicit consent. At the time of review the site invited visitors to join a waitlist, so access and plan details may evolve.
