Testimonials

“We are a large squad that uses Prepd for both extemp and Congress. We have found that Prepd is a platform that students learn very quickly. The fast catch feature on Prepd makes it very easy to file articles for both extemp and congress. Students can practice extemp speeches using the generated topics from Prepd. The challenges feature makes it easy for a coach to create specific levels of expected participation and easily evaluate which students have met those participation levels. Challenges can be used to set the minimum number of articles added to the library as well as the minimum number of articles that are marked read. Prepd is a fantastic tool for Congressional Debate preparation. In addition to adding articles to a specific docket of legislation, students can highlight portions of articles and apply them to arguments they are creating. The student can use the arguments created to organize and update speeches they intend to give in Congress sessions. The Precedence Tracker (and Question Tracker) is a fantastic tool students can use in round to become even more involved with their session. One of the best features of Prepd is the offline feature. Articles, arguments and speeches can be saved in a form that can be read offline during tournament rounds. This is much better than transferring articles stored on flashdrives or cloud storage sites that are inaccessible when internet is not allowed to be used. The Prepd team is constantly listening to the input of coaches and students to improve their product. I would highly recommend Prepd for all students.“

“Prepd has revolutionized the way that we save articles for extemporaneous speaking. On the coaching end, before Prepd, we would copy and paste articles into a dizzying maze of a Windows-based folder system that only became more confusing over time. I would spend around an hour every Saturday morning before a tournament transferring everything onto flash drives for each student. Now with Prepd, the files are accessible anywhere on all of their computers with virtually no extra work on my part. The weekly reports are also a great accountability tool to gently push students to aid their teammates by uploading more articles. On the student end, Prepd is easy to use, promotes collaboration, and makes my students better at extemporaneous speaking because they can focus more practice and prep time on critical thinking and analysis and less on searching for articles. Our students love to use Prepd, and we will continue to use it in the future.“

Hinsdale Central High School

“Prepd has been an outstanding tool for my students—especially in Congressional Debate and Extemp. Beyond the ease with which students use the program, developers continue to add implements to the library of tools every year. The way students “capture” articles on the computer and “file” them electronically under multiple categories at once makes accessing relevant information when prepping speeches practically instantaneous. Additionally, Prepd has developed their own library of source articles from all over the world; students can select and file these articles in addition to the sources I have taught them to use. We all know that being well read and having good speaking skills are both critical for success, but Prepd is the single tool that makes finding and organizing sources much faster and easier. When students can find their supportive facts quickly, they have more time to perfect structure and delivery“

“With a small squad and an even smaller group of extempers, Prepd is invaluable! Even with only about 5-8 extempers working on catching articles, we have extremely thorough files that can be easily accessed by anyone. It is easier to sell new students on extemp as a competitive event once they see how many topics we have already covered and how easy it is to find whatever you need with Prepd’s simple (but awesome) system; Prepd takes the fear out of extemp“

“Prepd has revolutionized what is possible on our team. We have been especially utilizing the Extemp and Congress features, which are both incredible. We use Prepd every single day in class, at practice, and at tournaments. Its user-friendly interface and well-thought out functionality make it a must-have for any nationally competitive Extemper or Congressperson.”

Achievement First High School

“Prepd is a revolutionary program for the successful Extemper. It is the perfect filing, storing and prepping solution for squads trying to “go digital,” and away from the old heavy Extemp tubs full of paper articles and folders. The Prepd founders are mindful of the evidence rules for every speech competition organization, from TFA to UIL to NSDA, which was my main concern. Some favorite features my team enjoys are the “add article to round,” which filters out all of the other articles except the ones you want to use in your round, the highlight feature, the favorites feature, the add topic feature, so you can see your topic clearly as you prep, and the countdown timer. It is clear that Prepd was started by a former Extemper, because everything on an extemper’s wish list is in this program. I highly recommend Prepd for you and your squad!“

“Our debate program had been looking for alternatives to research, store, and access current event materials, and then we discovered Prepd. From accessing information for practice rounds or tournaments, to making it easier for me (as a teacher/coach) to track research for grading purposes, to assisting students looking for research material for non-debate classes and assignments, Prepd has been an amazing tool. It’s great for extemp, Congressional Debate, and even oratory research. And I love that the saved articles are void of annoying advertisements and irrelevant (for debate purposes, at least) photographs. Plus, it has saved countless trees and tons of toner. All of my debate students are mandated to register with Prepd, and I have no qualms about making such a requirement for them.“

“As the coach of a small, young extemp squad, Prepd’s user friendly system makes our lives easier. Before Prepd, getting our students to file more than thirty articles a week proved difficult. That number has tripled this year. At tournaments, our competitors rarely complain about responding to topics with limited sources, and their speeches improved with their willingness to file. Furthermore, Raluca and company respond to our questions with speedy precision. I could not recommend their product or their team more.“

“I am very impressed with Prepd. The app addresses several issues associated with building and maintaining a competitive extemp digital filing system. The software provides a convenient and intuitive manner for researching articles and organizing files so students can focus more time on giving speeches. The data tracking aspect of the software also provides coaches with better insight for preparing their students for competition. This is a great tool for any extemp program looking for a better way to manage its files.“

“Prepd has been an amazing resource for our team. Our physical International Extemp bins were lost right before our 2014 District Tournament, giving us only two weeks to recreate years of work.With limited time, we subscribed to Prepd, caught over 3,000 articles, and have never looked back. A few weeks later, three of our competitors were IX finalists, and one qualified for the National Tournament.The same student also qualified in 2015.“

“Prepd is the best program that I’ve used for managing a large squad. It makes grading a breeze. I especially love the analytics that allow our team to have transparency and accountability – everyone can see who files articles, I can set individual and team goals, and kids can thank their teammates who filed articles that helped them do well in competition.“

“With Prepd our team gained the ability to better “see and manage” our files. We know exactly who is filing, when they are filing and we can track progress in building effective files. Coaches also get tools which make them more effective in encouraging students to file. Compared to our former dropbox system, Prepd is easy, fast and efficient!“

Battle Ground Academy

“Prepd is an amazing software that is written by debaters for debaters. Finally, someone really gets what we need. As a coach, this is by far the most time saving application I have ever encountered. All of your extemp files, congress research, and debate cases are in one application and your team members can see each other’s work. The “fast catch” Chrome extension provides the simplest way to do research I have ever encountered. It only takes a few seconds to put an article in your team’s storage. Of course, Prepd works offline. One of the most amazing parts is each Monday morning, you get a report of who dropped how many files. It tells you if someone on your team has already dropped a file and gives ideas about topics you need to research. I have worked with tons of software that attempted this, but never one that actually fulfills the dream we all have. The people who run the company are also incredibly friendly and customer service minded and seem to be the perfect match of research, coaches and debaters. If you are not using Prepd, you need to switch. I am spoiled and could not go back.“

“Our squad loved using Prepd this year! Catching articles was quick and seamless. We were able to do more research much more quickly.

“Prepd is, without a doubt, the best resource that I’ve ever used as a speech and debate coach. The ability for students to file articles and share them with others is unmatched. I have seen my students’ confidence in extemp skyrocket since we started using Prepd 3 years ago. The easy ability to capture articles, research speeches, and organize thoughts that Prepd allows has done more for the growth and development of my students than anything I could ever imagine. Also, the customer service I’ve received from Prepd is unmatched in any resource I’ve ever seen. Anytime I’ve had a question I’ve been able to email their help service and Ian, Raluca, and company have always responded within a couple of hours (at most). In fact, a couple of years ago something went wrong with our account before a major national tournament and Ian called me and walked me through how to resolve the issue! I have recommended Prepd to every coach who’s ever asked me about how to improve their students’ extemp preparation and I will continue to do so. Thank you, Prepd team!“

“Our team was looking for more efficient method of collecting, storing and using extemp resources when we luckily happened on Prepd. The two extempers who qualified for Nationals were almost immediately taken with Prep’s methods and protocols and when a student reacts that way you can be sure they will be so much better prepared. With only two months of work on Prepd, they managed to finish in the top 60 which was a major improvement over previous years. We believe our extempers have a brighter future“

“I got access to Prepd right before my state competition and it was amazing! Even when I had trouble getting my tournament’s docket uploaded to Prepd, the support staff were responsive and extremely helpful. When I was using Prepd in-round, it allowed me to extemp my speeches and refute my opponent’s argument which boosted my score and has helped me become a better debater. It’s precedence feature is also amazing. I know that because Prepd helped me win my state competition I will be using it for as long I debate in high school.“

“Out of all the tools that exist for organizing extemp files, Prepd is definitely the best at combining convenience with organization. As a captain for extemp, Classroom is fantastic for monitoring individuals’ activity, and for facilitating some friendly competition in terms of article catching. Personally, Fast Catch is extremely useful for allowing me to download files during any free time I have, even right before prep itself. The practice questions and practice round features are essential for preparing, in that I’m able to brush up on any questions that I’m unfamiliar with. The ability to create folders and subfolders has become indispensable in round for accessing specific topic areas. With the addition of the news feed to fill any gaps in our team’s files, we have the foundation for a smooth and productive prep. As an upcoming junior with experience in several different extemp tools, Prepd is certainly unmatched in quality.“

“When starting speech and debate, things often times feel overwhelming. However, Prepd allows for this all to become a lot clearer especially when it comes to events like Extemp. Extemp is a speech and debate event that requires you to be knowledgeable on current event and be able to think fast on your feet when it comes to writing speeches pertaining to them. Prepd allows for you to store articles with the simple click of a button, have practice extemp rounds with real questions from past rounds, and even define and highlight specific parts in articles. It is accessible from just about anywhere and can be shared by a whole team. It gives you the skills you need to kickstart your Extemp journey and the communication and organisation necessary to continue it. Prepd is one of my favorite parts of extemp for all these reasons and more and I’m so grateful for the help it gives.“

“Having used other softwares like Dropbox, I can wholeheartedly say that Prepd has offered me the best extemp filing service I could find. Prepd’s article catcher is intuitive to use and encourages filing into specific subfolders that we can access in competition. When we get to the prep room, Prepd’s round feature allows for a less stressful in-round experience, as I know that I can safely store away the articles that I want to use so that I can go back to them whenever I want. One of my favorite aspects of the Prepd experience has been the continual updating of Prepd’s software. Over the brief time that I have been using Prepd, there have been a number of software updates to fix bugs and create new opportunities for users, such as the recent foray into filing from the mobile app. My trust that Prepd will continue to make these kind of updates based on user feedback is one of the many reasons I’d recommend Prepd to any extemper.“

“The Prepd app has been incredibly useful to my entire team over the last couple of seasons. It has simple tools that are easy to grasp when just beginning your speech journey and advanced features for when you continue on that path. Our debate team has seen a remarkable change after using the software and because you can always see who is filling it encourages the whole team to work. It is incredibly easy to access at tournaments and gives us a leg up on the competition when we need it most. Prepd is the only app that works as hard as my debate team to improve, and because of that it’s the only app I choose.”

“Prepd was an indispensable tool in my last few years of competition. As the manager of my team’s files, it’s data tracking allowed me to easily monitor my teammates’ activity. When building a file, I was never worried about overcrowding or disorganization, a concern that frequently came up before my team used Prepd software. In major tournaments, Prepd’s Article Catcher allowed me to swiftly and easily update my files in between rounds to prepare for the next topic area. Perhaps most importantly, Prepd’s in round search mechanism and “add article to round” features made it simple to sort through massive amounts of information and access the most topical and specific pieces of evidence. Overall, I would recommend Prepd to any competitive Extemper.“

Micah Cash (student)

“The reason that Prepd is so great for National Speech and Debate Association’s competitors is that it is more than just a tool. This program is a catalyst for the unification of a team through knowledge and a cooperative desire to help other succeed. As a competitor in Foreign Extemp, I found myself being desperately committed to collecting articles to a substantial degree. Not only was this in hopes that I could gain the highest number of items than everyone else on the team, but it was also so that I could gain further expertise on certain regions of the globe and so that members of my team could use the items I gained for their own developing expertise. In the end, both goals were achieved: I was as well-rounded as I wanted to be and my team members were inspired to be the same way. All in all, Prepd should not be simply used as a tool for Extemp or any other events, it should also be used to do what it does exceptionally well: Help a growing team become even stronger.“

“As a person who always strives to be organized and efficient, Prepd provides the best of both worlds. Over the last few years competing in extemp, I’ve been consistently impressed by how effective Prepd as a software has been at keeping my files in an organized, easy-to-access place both in and out of draw. Unique features that I’ve found particularly useful include the Prepd article catcher, which helps me file articles in a more streamlined fashion than Dropbox or Google Drive, and the ability to “add” articles to a given round, which allows me to keep track of all the articles I plan on using in my speech. As a rising junior and a speaker with experience at the local, state, and national level, I would definitely recommend Prepd to all extempers.“

“Prepd has been such a great resource for me to use. During my extemp rounds, it allows me to easily access all of my files quickly and efficiently so that I can write much quicker than using any other program. It also allows for me and my team to see our progress as we read so that we can improve as a team. The Fast Catch is super easy and convenient to use for storing articles. It just makes our lives as extempers so much smoother. Prepd’s question creation system also allows the team to challenge ourselves in new ways and makes practice that much easier. Additionally, Prepd’s Congress app has made Congress rounds easier to manage. I can store all my speeches and keep track of what I need, and I can also monitor other people’s positions and speeches in round to make sure that I am asking the right questions. Overall, I would strongly recommend Prepd for all of your speech and debate needs.“

“I got out of the awards ceremony at the 2016 NCFCA Omaha Qualifier with first place out of eight. Now it’s on to the Regional Championship to seek one of the two slots to Nationals. The NCFCA has a simple three-tier approach. Oh, and I did use Prepd! That helped me to get a huge edge over the competition in a few ways. News feed helped me as a lone wolf Extemper to have just as much same-day and yesterday information as my club counterparts. The file organization function and search features help immensely for ease of access, which is all important since the NCFCA only gives us 20 minutes of prep time! The new practice questions feature allows me to practice on my own, which is an opportunity other competitors don’t have. Anyway, thanks for your program!“

“After trying out many different filing options, my team finally decided upon Prepd, and we never looked back! Prepd’s ability to condense the file-size of each article means that we never have to worry about running short on hard drive space, which is a huge benefit when compared to other popular filing methods. In my opinion though, the best feature is that the Prepd Dashboard keeps track of each team member’s article count, making it easy to keep track of everyone’s progress. I can wholeheartedly say that Prepd has improved my extemp workflow, and it has contributed to my competitive success.“

“Prepd has completely revolutionized my team’s extemp. Before our team switched to Prepd, we used flashdrives, which weren’t very well organized nor easy to access, and Prepd has completely changed that dynamic. Even the act of filing was redefined by the use of Prepd. Originally, filing was an ordeal, but with Prepd, filing was transformed from simple chore to fun competition. The idea that one could capture a long article with just the click of a button irrevocably changed my extemp experience forever. In addition to how easy it became to file articles, access was completely streamlined thanks to the excellent organization and tools that Prepd offers. I cannot emphasize enough how easy it became for me to organize information and write speeches. Overall, Prepd is the most effective tool for filing I’ve ever had the pleasure to use.“

“This previous school year, was my first experience with speech and debate. I had no idea what to do/what I was doing, but picked up on the concept fairly quickly because of the Prepd program. I competed in Domestic Extemp this past year, and Prepd’s easy organizational system and quick retrieval process really helped me to plan out all of my speeches in a timely manner. Without Prepd, and access to pre-saved files, my speeches and successes this year would have suffered greatly. It’s important for extempers to have a fast and reliable program that they are able to retrieve their information from, and Prepd offers them just that. I never had any problems with this program, and hope to continue using it throughout the remainder of my speech and debate career. All in all, Prepd is an awesome program, and I highly recommend it to any debate program!“

“Any debate team that is not currently using Prepd is missing out.This year was our team’s first year using prepd. Before prepd catching articles was much more difficult, took a much longer amount of time, the articles were of less quality, and because it was so difficult there were less articles caught overall. Prepd fixes all of these issues. It is much more easy to organize, a lot faster, has many helpful tools, and makes the in-round process much easier. I believe that prepd is a must have for any debate team.“

“Coming from an international background, it was obvious how international extemporaneous speaking was my area of expertise. With Prepd, I was able to organize the entire world into an online file, and search for articles with simply the click of a button. Prepd has made the world of extemp so much easier for me and my teammates, from being able to file in seconds, to being able to find the same file through simply searching one word was absolutely amazing. From economic issues in Iran to European elections and African fishing habits, Prepd has made all of these international issues and topics much easier to sort out and organize. My freshmen year, there were 5 people on the team, and our coach was brand new. With her help and her introducing Prepd to us, the team has greatly expanded and being an extemper has never been easier. Through Prepd, I can file hundreds of files and still be completely able to keep track of them all.“

“I am a rising junior in high school with two years of extemporaneous speaking experience. I have dedicated hours each week to improve my skills and it has paid off. I qualified for and attended nationals this past year, but I couldn’t have done it without my trusty file. My school had a physical file my freshman year which was fine, but didn’t allow for the breadth and depth of an expansive file. Though my coach tends to prefer the more traditional methods of filing he saw the great benefits of Prepd and had our team switch over last year. It has made filing more efficient and has allowed me to reorganize and look through the file at home. I can find myself filing articles in between homework assignments and filing them right at the moment instead of saving them and waiting to print unit the next day at school. Thank you for giving me the ability to update my file over the summer and strengthen my skills not only as an extemper, but also as connected individual in this world through current events.“

“Prepd is a great system which has allowed me to further my efficiency in the prep room. Things like dropbox are extremely hard to navigate and not too terribly engaging. However Prepd is an intuitive program which allows me to be better prepared to speak. After you draw, you type in your question and it appears on your computer all throughout the speech along with a timer. Also, you can save specific articles that you are using, which makes it really easy to go back and find it if needed. Also, filing on Prepd is great because you can save the article in multiple folders which is extremely helpful. The Prepd staff also responds very quickly to any snafus with the system. They were even at the NSDA National Tournament in person to deal with those problems. In short, I am glad my team made the switch and I have yet to see a better system.“

In preparation for rounds it has enabled me to line up, read over, and easily find the name and date of articles in a fraction of the time it took me with other programs. The system is easy to navigate, and is incredibly helpful in, and out of the round. It tracks the articles dropped per week, month, and season, and provides an accurate break down of where the articles have come from. This has been particularly helpful because it shows me what sources I need to drop more from. The demographics provides great incentive to drop more articles than teammates. I would recommend Prepd to any team who is looking for a simple, easy to use, efficient extemp prep system.“

Not only is catching articles as easy as clicking two buttons, finding and retrieving caught articles is a breeze as well. Extempers know that 30 minutes goes by very quickly when preparing a speech, and a simple, easy, yet tournament legal database with potentially thousands of articles is something that too few people get to experience. Prep time is meant for researching and preparing, not fiddling around with file folders, bulky binders, and largely irrelevant magazines.Prepd solves all of this, and more.“
