Newspeak helps you gain awareness of your speaking habits, so you can make the changes you want. When Newspeak is on, you’ll hear a beep whenever the program hears a word from your block-list. It also keeps track of how many times you say a word from your blocklist. * Pre-created block lists: Use Newspeak’s presets (swear words/offensive words). * Custom block lists: Easily create your custom block list with words that you'd like to stop saying. * Centralized dashboard: See how many times you spoke blocked words. Your privacy is always protected. No audio or transcripts are ever stored or sent to us.
