Orator Pro helps universities manage live graduation ceremonies with accurate name announcements, digital check-in and fewer manual workarounds.
Built around how graduation ceremonies operate, from registration through to the stage.
Graduation ceremonies don't go wrong in the planning. They go wrong in the moment. Orator Pro helps universities manage those moments with fewer manual workarounds and more control throughout the ceremony itself.
Live name announcements leave no room for hesitation.
Orator Pro gives orators instant access to accurate pronunciation guidance and live updates throughout the ceremony, helping reduce pressure during live name announcements where there’s very little room for error.
Instead of relying on handwritten phonetic cards or rushed paper updates, orators always have the latest information in front of them as ceremonies unfold.
That means:
Many graduation ceremonies still rely on paper registration lists, printed name cards and handwritten phonetic notes.
Orator Pro replaces these disconnected processes with a live digital system that keeps operational teams, display systems and orators aligned throughout the ceremony.
The platform
Rather than relying on paper-based coordination behind the scenes, Orator Pro gives universities a live operational system designed specifically for graduation ceremonies.
Students check in digitally before going on stage, with updates flowing instantly to orators and display systems throughout the ceremony.

Benefits
Students can confirm spelling and pronunciation before they go on stage.
Replace printed name cards and handwritten notes with a digital workflow.
Manage queues, running order changes and live arrivals without disrupting the ceremony.
Give operational teams greater visibility and control throughout the ceremony itself.
How it works
Students confirm their details at the check-in desk.
Updates flow instantly to orators and display systems.
Names are announced and displayed correctly for students and guests.
Late arrivals and running order changes can be handled during the ceremony itself.
On the day impact
Graduation ceremonies are live, human events. The announcement of a student's name is one of the most important moments of the day, and getting that moment right matters.
Orator Pro is designed to support the people delivering the ceremony, not replace them. We do not use AI to announce names. Instead, the platform helps teams manage live updates, pronunciation accuracy and ceremony flow in real time, while keeping the human element at the centre of the experience.
Case study
Orator Pro was successfully trialled at Middlesex University, replacing paper-based processes with a fully digital workflow for student check-in, name announcements and live ceremony management.
We would never go back to the old way of working.
