Gaze engine · voice-following

Eyes up. The script waits.

Terera moves your script around the screen so your eyes do what a speaker’s eyes do — steady on one person, turning between two, crossing a room. It follows your voice as well, so the line is wherever you are.

01 — The gaze engine

A prompter that knows who you are talking to. Because you told it.

Where your eyes go depends on who is listening. One person wants you steady on them; two want you turning between them; a room wants you to take it in.

No pedal. No remote. No hand on a speed control. You speak; it follows. Lose your place, wander off, come back — it waits, and picks you up where you are.

Stop talking and the script holds where you left it, in any mode.

Firstly, last quarter

And when you stop talking

In one-to-one and two-person modes Terera treats your silence as listening — because someone else is talking — and stops prompting you to pick up.

It moves the way a person moves.

You talk. It follows. Make it yours.

Everyone can produce the work now.

03 Why this, why now

The document stopped being evidence.

Five years ago the memo was the proof. It took two days, and the two days were legible in it — the structure, the objection you had anticipated, the footnote that showed you had gone and looked.

Nobody could fake that cheaply. They can now.

The memo takes an afternoon and everyone in the room has the same tools. So the artefact has stopped carrying information about the person who brought it. It still says what it says. It no longer says who you are.

What is left is the eleven minutes you actually get to speak — and most of them now arrive in a crop, on someone else's second monitor, where every hesitation is closer to the camera than it would ever be to a chair three metres away.

02 — The eleven minutes

Evaluators — professional recruiters among them — rated the same person as more competent and more intelligent when they heard the pitch than when they read it.

Adding video on top of audio changed nothing. The voice was doing the work.

Where we stop

The study measured pitches, not board papers. Reading it across to a committee is our inference, not the authors'.

Claim 03 — live

It reports what you did.

A quiet account of how you spoke: where you rushed, where you paused, and whether this run was better than the last.

Keep going — how it works ↓ ↑ Back to the gaze engine

Terera is Shona. It means listen — and pay attention.

It listens to you, so you can stop managing it and just talk. And because you are not managing it, the room pays attention to you.

Fewer people can hold a room.

04 — How it works

Paste, speak, keep the take.

No calibration, no rehearsal pass to teach it your pace, no timing marks. It listens on-device and matches your words to the page.

{{ s.tag }}

It tells you how you did.

Where you rushed. Where you stopped. Whether this run was better than the last one. Not a score against a stranger — against you, last week.

05 — Why the movement is the point

Left to right is a tell.

Eyes that sweep left to right and snap back are reading. Everyone watching knows it, even if they could not say why. A fixed stare is the other tell — pin the script under the lens and you buy steady eyes by making someone hold one spot, which nobody does for eleven minutes.

Terera does not put the line where your eyes are. It moves the transcript to where your eyes would go anyway — to the people on the call.

So the movement that used to give you away is the movement that makes you look present.

This is the year

THE LINE GOES WHERE YOUR EYES WOULD GO

Room mode sweeps the screen the way your eyes would cross a room — shown here over a four-person grid. You choose the mode; it never sees your call.

06 — What you can change

Six of these matter. The rest are yours.

Most of it you will set once and forget. These are the ones that change how you come across.

Set once, then forget

How the person who made it runs it

Dramatic scan, narrow column, full movement.

07 — In a live meeting

Your desk, your rules.

It sits over your slides.

Click straight through it. Your deck stays yours.

Nobody else sees it.

Turn it off in the share and the script is yours alone — your audience sees your slides, you see your words.

It stays where you put it.

Any screen, above everything, or out of the way.

Try it first

30-day trial, every feature switched on, when it ships. No card, no account. Whether it works with your voice and your microphone is not something we can tell you. Thirty days is long enough to know.

New laptop

Install it and enter your licence again. There is no seat server to release — nothing to transfer, no ticket, no waiting on us. The same design that lets it work on a plane.

If you refund

Your licence ends and we ask you to remove it. We are relying on you, not on a remote switch — there isn't one. See refunds.
