Doesn’t catch umm’s

Not sensitive enough to detect um’s. Would be great if it worked!

Not sensitive enough

Misses lots of times I say um.

Please add this word

Great little app here with a great concept and while I do struggle with um a little bit I and several people at work struggle more often with asking "right?" too often.

so please add an option for the word "right"

Response from developer

Hello, apologies for the delay, and thank your for your input! We've just released a new version that detects the word "right." We also have plans to have a custom word option soon. In the meantime, please feel free to send us any other input or feature requests. Thanks! Matt @ Alterscope Solutions
