Speakate

Speakate is a daily voice practice. One short session a day, already chosen for you, to build a steadier, clearer, more confident speaking voice. Most voice advice is a pile of tips you never act on. Speakate gives you one thing at a time: today's session, four to eight minutes, then you close the app. WHAT YOU PRACTICE Seven core modules, in the order a coach would teach them: - Breath Control - the engine. Everything else sits on top of this. - Relaxation and Resonance - let the body go, then find where the voice rings. - Pausing and Pacing - slow down, and let a silence do the work. - Articulation - crisp edges. Every word arrives whole. - Volume and Projection - louder from support, never from the throat. - Pitch Variety and Tonal Control - kill the monotone and control the tone. - Real-World Speaking - take it into calls, meetings and conversations. Repetition is the method. You do the same small set of drills every day for a week or two before the next module opens, because that is how a voice actually changes. BUILT AROUND YOUR VOICE Tell Speakate what trips you up and the modules reorder so yours comes earlier. Thirteen optional modules, such as Filler Words, Vocal Fry and Clear Endings, and Resonance and Depth, are added only when your answers or your voice test point to them. Nothing is locked. THE VOICE TEST Answer four questions and talk for 20 seconds. Speakate measures your pitch, pace, energy and control, gives you a voice type, and uses the result to shape your plan. SOUND MODE Follow the day's session by ear. Spoken instructions keep playing with the screen locked. THEN AND NOW At the start you record two short takes. Later you record them again and play the two side by side, so you can hear your own change. BUILT TO KEEP YOU GOING Streaks, points and milestones for the days you show up. One session at a time, so you are never staring at a long list. VOICE NUDGES Optional reminders through the day, each a different tip. "Start the first sentence lower." "Pause instead of saying um." Off until you turn them on. YOUR PRIVACY Takes you keep for playback are saved on your phone. A few features need to count your words: the pace checks, the filler count and the voice test. For those, the take is sent securely to be transcribed and is not stored. The microphone runs only while you are recording or in a live drill, never in the background. No advertising, no third-party trackers, nothing sold. What syncs is your practice log and results, so your streak follows you to a new phone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: Orator at 3 against Speakate's 1. Orator also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
