MicBuddy is your personal speech coach. Practice out loud, get a score after every take, and see exactly what to fix, so you speak with confidence when it counts: the interview, the pitch, the toast, the meeting. PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE Rehearse a presentation, a sales pitch, an interview answer, a toast or a story. Every day brings a new speaking prompt, from a set of 100 on stories, opinions, explanations, pitches and more. A SCORE AFTER EVERY TAKE Each recording gets a score out of 100, with ratings for eloquence, clarity, pausing, confidence, vocal variety and engagement. Short coaching notes, and what changed since your last take, show you what to work on next. TRACK YOUR FILLER WORDS See exactly how often you say um, uh, like, you know and other filler words, plus confidence killers such as "just", "kind of" and "I guess". Watch your count drop as you practice. MONITOR YOUR PACE Speaking too fast? Too slow? MicBuddy shows your words per minute after every take, and whether you moved closer to a steady, easy-to-follow pace. WATCH YOUR SCORE CLIMB Your score trend, speaker level, daily streak and top filler words show how far you have come, session by session. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Speech recognition and coaching run on your iPhone or iPad, not in the cloud. Your audio recordings stay on your device, and your transcripts and scores sync only through your own private iCloud. 13 LANGUAGES Practice in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Turkish or Chinese.
