The app reports a clarity score, filler words per minute, speaking pace and a transcript with fillers highlighted; it recognizes more than 14 filler patterns, including “um,” “uh,” “like” and “you know.” Progress tools include streaks, statistics, charts and insights. Pro adds a filler-word timeline, sentence-by-sentence breakdown and personalized tips about filler habits. The app is presented for job interviews, career growth, everyday conversation, presentations and public speaking. The free plan allows three recordings per week and includes scoring and feedback, filler detection, a prompt library and progress tracking. Pro costs $4.99 a month and includes unlimited recordings and advanced insights. Recording requires microphone access, and AI analysis requires an internet connection.
