## What is WordPace?

Nerves make you speak faster, and the audience is the last to tell you. Put your
iPhone where you can see it and WordPace warns you before your pace runs away.

LIVE FEEDBACK AT A GLANCE
See your current words per minute, a live microphone waveform and whether the
reading is still warming up. Choose your presentation language, microphone and
personal pace limit before you start.

A WARNING YOU CANNOT MISS
Once WordPace has enough speech for a reliable reading, the whole screen turns
red when you exceed your limit. Your iPhone can also tap once or play a sound,
so you do not have to stare at the number. The warning clears when you slow down
or stop speaking.

MEASURES SPEAKING, NOT SILENCE
WordPace reports articulation rate — words per minute of real speaking time.
Natural pauses are excluded instead of making your pace look artificially slow.
A sliding twenty-second window keeps the reading focused on how you are speaking
now.

REVIEW EACH SESSION
When you stop, an in-memory recap shows duration, average and peak pace, time
within your limit, warning count and a timeline. The recap is not saved after
you dismiss it.

YOUR SPEECH STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE
Speech recognition runs entirely on-device. No audio is recorded. No transcript
or session history is stored, and no speech or measurement results are sent
anywhere. Only your settings remain after you close WordPace.

Requires iOS 26 or later.
