A speech manuscript is a written copy of the text of a speech, which is intended as the basis for an oral presentation. It serves the speaker, lecturer or keynote speaker as a text template for his or her oral presentation, whereby he or she literally adopts the wording or uses the points as a basis but speaks freely.
