Mic Buddy vs Uyio AI

Mic Buddy is a speech practice app that scores pace, filler words, pauses and clarity, then suggests an area to work on next. Practice formats include mock interviews, short drills, multi-day programs, daily prompts and a word of the day. Its transcript marks filler words, soft words and pauses of 1.5 seconds or longer. The app also offers words-per-minute tracking, a speech timer, word count and a basic clarity score. Mic Buddy supports English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Turkish and Chinese. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Mac; the website says an Android version is coming to Google Play. The free plan offers unlimited practice sessions and saves the last five sessions. Listed paid options are $12.99 a month, $29.99 a year, $49.99 a year and 99.99 USD once. The site marks Premium as coming soon and lists features such as unlimited saved sessions, analytics, tips, prompts, PDF transcript export and priority support. The maker says audio and transcripts are processed and stored on-device rather than uploaded to its servers. Account and subscription functions involve Supabase and RevenueCat, with Apple App Store handling distribution and payments.
