Aloud measures the parts of your speaking you cannot hear yourself. Rehearse a talk, an interview answer, a toast, a pitch or a lesson. Aloud listens, then shows you what actually happened: how fast you spoke, where you rushed, every filler word, every hesitation sound, how much silence you left, and whether you landed on time. WHAT IT MEASURES • Pace, second by second, against the band for that kind of talk. A toast wants 105 to 135 words a minute. A pitch wants 140 to 170. You see the curve, not one number. • Filler words in eight languages. Not just "um" and "you know", but "yyy", "jakby", "halt", "genre", "o sea". • Hesitation sounds. The "uhhh" with no word in it, which every transcript quietly deletes. Aloud finds it by comparing the sound to the words. • Pauses. How much silence, and whether any of it was long enough for a room to catch up. • Energy, timing, and a delivery score that always shows its working. Tap any score and read the sentence that explains it. ON THE DAY Start Stage mode on Apple Watch before you walk up. Two taps means you are racing. A light double means pick it up. A mark at half way, at one minute left and at time. Your phone can stay in your pocket. REHEARSE PROPERLY • A teleprompter that follows you. It scrolls to where you actually are, not to a speed you set. • Drills that fix one thing each in a minute: pace ladder, filler fast, the landing, cold open. • Every rehearsal kept, so the third one can beat the first. THE AI STUDIO (optional) • A coach note written against your own numbers: two specific fixes and a drill for each. • Script studio: paste your notes, get something built to be spoken in the time you have. • Q&A drill: the six questions your room will actually ask, including the two you are hoping they skip. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Transcription happens on your iPhone, and your recordings never leave it. Aloud works fully without an account. Sign in only if you want your numbers and transcripts to follow you to a new phone. No analytics and no ads, at all. ALOUD PRO Free: unlimited rehearsals up to two minutes, pace, fillers, transcript, your last three runs, and one coach note on the house. Pro unlocks unlimited length, the full report, the trend line, Apple Watch pacing, the teleprompter and the AI studio. • Aloud Pro Weekly, 1 week, $4.99, with a 3 day free trial • Aloud Pro Monthly, 1 month, $9.99 • Aloud Pro Yearly, 1 year, $39.99 • Aloud Pro Lifetime, one payment of $89.99, not a subscription Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
