Write Talk Script

Produce a speaker script that fits an exact talk slot: every slide gets a word budget at the speaker's real pace, a cumulative timing mark, a written-out transition, and a marked cut list so running long on stage has a pre-planned answer. Slides tell the audience what to look at; this script is what the speaker actually says. It is the post-acceptance companion to make-slides.

When to use

• "Write the script for my 12-minute SIGSPATIAL talk" / "15-minute slot including 3 minutes of Q&A — what do I say?"
• "Turn my deck into speaker notes I can rehearse from"
• "My talk is running long — what do I cut?"
• "I have a 5-minute lightning talk / spotlight"
• After make-slides, before the first timed rehearsal.
