EchoPal turns your notes into a hands-free study session. Upload a PDF, PowerPoint, or paste any text, and EchoPal instantly builds flashcard-style questions from your material. Then it reads each question aloud, listens to your spoken answer, and gives you real feedback! No typing required! Study while you cook, drive, clean, or work out. EchoPal keeps track of what you get wrong and brings those questions back automatically so nothing slips through the cracks. KEY FEATURES • Hands-free voice sessions: questions read aloud via text-to-speech, answers captured by microphone. No screen interaction needed. • AI-powered question generation: upload a PDF, PPTX, or paste text and EchoPal builds targeted questions from your content. • Instant explanations: get a question wrong and EchoPal explains why, then lets you ask follow-up questions until you actually understand. • Automatic weak-spot targeting: missed questions cycle back into the session so you keep practicing what matters most. • Session summary: see your score, accuracy, and time spent after every session. • Multiple voice options: choose from a range of TTS voices to match your preference. • Try before you sign up: tap "Try a Demo" on the landing screen to experience a full voice session with no account required. BACKED BY SCIENCE Active recall has been shown to outperform passive review by a wide margin. Students who test themselves on material remember significantly more after a week than those who simply re-read notes. EchoPal is built around this principle.

Every "um" costs you. The interview. The pitch. The moment someone decides whether to trust you. Speakle trains you to sound like you mean it, starting with sixty seconds a day. WHY SPEAKLE WORKS Listeners rate speakers with 5+ fillers per minute as 41% less competent. Most speaking apps make you watch lessons. Speakle makes you speak, every day, on a fresh prompt, with one take and instant AI feedback. Like Wordle, but for the way you talk. THE DAILY LOOP • One sealed prompt a day. No peeking, no redos. • 60 seconds to answer. The clock is the coach. • AI analysis grades clarity, pace, flow, confidence, and structure. • Get a personal note from Pip, one actionable thing to try tomorrow. • Watch your streak (and your score) climb. • See how you compare with others. Everyone gets the same prompt daily. • Loads of practices questions in wide varieties of areas. No limit on how many you can practice. WHAT YOU'LL FIX • "Um", "uh", "like", "basically": caught, counted, and timestamped. • Pace problems: too fast under pressure, too slow when stalling. • Trailing endings: the "so, yeah, that's it" closer that kills your authority. • Confidence dips flagged in the parts of your answer where you doubted yourself. • Weak structure: Pip shows you where your point got lost. DESIGNED FOR REAL MOMENTS • Job interviews and behavioral questions • Sales pitches, investor decks, board updates • Wedding toasts, eulogies, speeches • Presentations, lectures, podcast appearances • Toastmasters speakers between meetings • ESL speakers building English fluency • Anyone tired of cringing at their own recordings WHAT'S INSIDE • Daily speaking challenge with curated prompts • Practice library: pick a category (work, dating, big ideas, current events) and rehearse on your terms • Real-time waveform recording, no microphone setup • Word-by-word filler map of your transcript • Five-metric score: Clarity · Pace · Flow · Confidence · Structure • Pip's Note, one piece of AI coaching after every take • Streak tracker and progress over time • Premium share cards for your best takes • Sign in with Apple, no email/password, ever PRIVACY YOU CAN HEAR • Recordings are yours. We never train AI on your voice. • Analysis happens on a secure backend, then your audio is yours to keep, replay, or delete. • Apple Sign-In only. No social graph, no scraped contacts. FROM THE TEAM Speakle was built by people who hated hearing themselves say "um" in important meetings. We made the practice tool we wished existed: short, honest, and impossible to skip. If you ship one 60-second take a day for a month, you will sound different. That's the promise. Download Speakle. Lose the ums. Subscription terms: Speakle Premium unlocks unlimited replays, the full filler map, premium share cards, and progress trends. Plans: yearly with 3-day free trial, monthly with 3-day free trial, or weekly (no trial). Subscriptions auto-renew unless turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage anywhere in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
