About

Misheard

Features
Read full description

Your phone keeps getting the same handful of words wrong. A name. A product. An acronym. The same word, misheard the same way, every single time. Misheard shows you exactly what speech recognition produced when you said it — and what to change. ADD THE WORDS IT RUINS Type them or paste a list. Your company name, a colleague, a product, a phrase you have given up dictating. SAY THEM, AND SEE WHAT IT HEARD Tap a word and it counts you in. Watch the transcript fill in live, then see the verdict: recognized, close, or not quite — with the exact word that came back instead. FIND OUT WHAT TO DO DIFFERENTLY Miss a word and Misheard tells you which sound is landing wrong, and what to change with your mouth to fix it. Keep missing it and the advice moves on rather than repeating: try it in a sentence, slow down, or — honestly — accept that some words are simply not in the recognizer's vocabulary and no amount of clear speech will help. HEAR YOURSELF Turn on recordings and play back your own attempt beside what the machine made of it. Noticing that you swallowed the first consonant is faster than being told. A WORD A DAY 365 built-in challenges, one per day, the same for everyone. Homophones, word-boundary traps, negations that vanish, and teens that turn into tens. It works with no signal, because the whole pack ships inside the app. FREE SPEAK Talk naturally for thirty seconds or five minutes. Get your words per minute, a count of your um, uh and you know, and a transcript with your own difficult words picked out. WHAT MISHEARD DOES NOT DO It does not change iOS dictation. No app can — the keyboard's recognizer is not something a third-party app can reach. Misheard trains you, and tells you precisely what your phone heard. That is a different promise, and a more honest one. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No server. No analytics. Recognition runs on your iPhone, and recordings are off until you switch them on. Everything Misheard stores stays on your device, and you can delete all of it from Settings. 14 DAYS FREE, THEN ONE PAYMENT Everything is unlocked for two weeks — no card, no account, nothing to cancel. After that, one payment keeps the whole app. Not a subscription, not a recurring charge, not a trial that turns into one. And today's challenge word stays free forever, whether you buy it or not.
