Estendio - Present Pal

Estendio is the Scottish software company behind Present Pal, an app that guides people through planning, preparing and delivering presentations. It is aimed at those who find speaking in public stressful.

Products and services

• Note creation: easy-to-follow, accessible notes that keep a speaker on track through their content.
• Rehearsal: tools for practising a talk before the day.
• In-the-moment support: prompts during the presentation itself, which the makers see as the hardest point for anxious speakers.
• Reflection: ways to review a talk afterwards and improve.

Customers and markets

The app is designed for students, especially those with anxiety, dyslexia, ADHD or autism. Support through the Disabled Students' Allowance is available for eligible students in the UK, and the site says universities and colleges use it.
