A presentation you control by speaking
Tell SpeakCanvas what to add or change in plain language, from your computer’s microphone or from your phone while you walk around the room.
Start presenting“Show the share of sales by region as a pie chart: Europe 45, Asia 35, Americas 20.”

What you can say
Ask for a card by describing it: a bar, line or pie chart, a flowchart, a timeline, an org chart, a SWOT board, a comparison matrix or a sticky note.
Every card has a number on the canvas, so you can refer to it later: “In card 2, change the second step to review.”
Speak from your computer or your phone
The computer’s microphone is enough when you stand beside it. To move around, scan the QR code on the canvas and use your phone as a microphone and remote. There is nothing to install on the phone.
What voice control does not do
SpeakCanvas listens when you press the microphone, not throughout your whole talk, so ordinary sentences do not put things on the screen. Moving cards and zooming are done by hand.
If a word is misheard, you can repeat the command or type it instead.
Questions
- Which browsers support voice commands?
- Voice input relies on the browser’s speech recognition, available in Chrome, Edge and Safari. Firefox does not offer it; there you can type commands or speak through a phone with a supported browser.
- Which languages does it understand?
- The interface is available in English and Turkish. Speech recognition uses your browser’s language, and recognition quality for an accent depends on the browser.
- Can I present without touching my computer?
- Mostly. With the phone remote you can give voice commands and move the laser pointer away from the computer. Opening the session and scanning the QR code still happen at the start.
- Can I add or remove things by voice?
- You can add cards, change an existing card, and clear the canvas by voice. To delete a single card, select it and use the delete button or key.
