Know how you sound before someone else tells you. You say "um" more than you think. You speed up when you're nervous. You hedge, you repeat yourself, and nobody tells you, because it's awkward. Talkspring tells you. Record for sixty seconds. Get a Speech Profile within seconds, scored on your phone: pace, filler words, pauses, hedging and repetition, one overall number, and the exact moments that cost you. EVERY SCORE IS EXPLAINED No black-box grades. Every filler, hedge and repeat is marked at the moment it was heard, with the words around it. Pace is shown as arithmetic: 163 words in 49 seconds of talking, 187 words per minute. When a score moves, you can see why. ONE CHALLENGE A DAY Everyone gets the same topic. You see it only when the mic opens, you get sixty seconds, and there is no redo. Send the link to a friend and go head-to-head on the same topic. A WORKOUT BUILT AROUND YOUR WEAKEST SKILL Each day prescribes a short Workout from your own scores: the skill that needs it most, the one due for retraining, and one for variety. About four minutes, done. 28 GAMES ACROSS FIVE SKILLS Fluency, Clarity, Delivery, Structure and Expression. Voice drills like Filler Killer, No Hedging, Pace Setter and Pause Power set one target and score one recording against it. Quick text rounds like Plain English, Word Upgrade, Open Strong and Land the Close train the habits that don't need a mic. A STREAK FOR SHOWING UP Any Game counts. The streak measures the days you worked on how you speak, not the days you did the challenge. Two Streak Freezes cover you when life gets in the way, and they are never for sale. TRACK WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGED Progress charts your Daily Challenge scores over time and gives you a plain verdict on your overall number and what moved it. YOUR VOICE STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Transcription and scoring run entirely on your device. Your audio is never uploaded, never stored and never heard by anyone. Only your scores sync, so your progress follows you between phones. The one thing that needs a connection is fetching the day's topic. FREE, AND WHAT PREMIUM ADDS Free, with no card required: the Daily Challenge, the first three Games of every Workout, Filler Killer in the practice library, and your last seven days of Progress. Every Speech Profile is always shown in full. Premium adds the whole Workout, all 28 Drills, and your entire Progress history. Talkspring is for native and fluent English speakers who want to sound sharper at work, in interviews and in meetings. It does not correct accents. It shows you what you are actually doing, and helps you do less of it. English only. Requires a microphone. Terms of Use: https://talkspring.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://talkspring.app/privacy
