What is Talkspring?
An iPhone app for practising how you speak. You record yourself talking for sixty seconds, it scores how you sounded and shows you why, and short daily speaking drills train whatever is weakest. It's for fluent English speakers who want to sound sharper in meetings, interviews and presentations - not accent or pronunciation training.
What does it actually measure?
Filler words, repeated phrases, pace, pauses and hedging ("sort of", "I think maybe"), rolled into one score out of 100. Every number is traceable to the exact moments in your transcript that produced it.
How much does it cost?
It's free to start: the Daily Challenge, the daily three-drill Workout and every score breakdown are free. Premium opens the full library of drills and your full progress history - the current price is on the App Store.
Are you recording me?
Your audio is analysed in memory on your phone and never written to disk - not on a server, not on the device. Your transcript never leaves the phone either. Only scores sync.
Do I need an internet connection?
Analysis runs on the device. The Daily Challenge needs a connection to fetch the day's shared topic, and your scores sync when you're online.
Can I delete my data?
Yes - delete your account inside the app and everything tied to it goes with it. The details are in the privacy policy.
