Your sheva brachos speech, from notes you say out loud
You’ve been asked to say a few words tomorrow night. Tap the microphone in TachlisAI, talk through the story you want to tell, and get a speech that sounds like you. Ask out loud for changes, hear it read back, and print the final version.
Say it the way you’d tell it at the table
Tap Voice input and talk. Your words appear in the message box, so you can fix a name before you send. Say who you are to the couple, the story you want to tell, where your vort goes and how long you have. The family, the story and the draft below were written for this guide.
Said into Voice input
Okay, this is for my brother Dovi’s sheva brachos tomorrow night. I’m Yehuda, the older brother, and I have about three minutes. I want to tell the bike thing. When we were kids, every kid on Maple Street with a flat tire came to our door for Dovi, and he’d fix it and never take anything for it. He’s still like that. He’s the last one stacking chairs after kiddush. Then my vort, I’ll say that part myself, it’s about giving before anyone asks. Then welcome Rivky, her family has been so good to us, and end with a brocha. Warm, a little funny, no roasting.
Part of the draft
Good evening. I’m Yehuda, Dovi’s older brother, so I’ve known him longer than almost anyone here.
When we were growing up on Maple Street, a flat tire meant one thing. You came to our door and asked for Dovi. He’d fix it, and he never took anything for it.
He hasn’t changed. After kiddush, when everyone else is heading home, Dovi is the one still stacking chairs.
[Your vort about giving before anyone asks]
Rivky, you’re marrying someone who shows up before anyone asks. Your family has been so good to us, and we are grateful.
Said next
Good. There are a lot of speakers, so get it under two minutes. And end the way I’d say it: Rivky, welcome to the family, we’re lucky to have you. Then the brocha.
The ending of the shorter version
Rivky, welcome to the family. We’re lucky to have you, and your parents have been so good to us.
May you and Dovi build a home where anyone who knocks finds someone ready to help.
You can keep steering by voice the same way: shorter, warmer, more of the story, less formal. In this version the brocha picks up the bike story, so the speech ends where it began.
Your vort, in your words
The bracket in the draft is where your dvar Torah goes. Say it into the chat the way you heard it, with where it comes from, and ask for help fitting it into two or three spoken sentences that lead from the story to the couple. Check the wording against where you learned it before you say it at the table.
Hear it, time it, print it
Tap Listen under the speech to hear it read aloud. The player shows how long the reading takes, which gives you a rough sense of your own timing. Slow it to 0.75x to read along, or use Download MP3 to hear it again on the way.
Then say it once yourself, out loud. Wherever you trip, tell the chat: “I keep tripping on the line about the bikes, make it simpler.” When it’s done, Download PDF under the final version saves it to print or to keep on your phone at the table.
