What Mic Buddy is
Mic Buddy is a speech practice app that evaluates speaking 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 supports English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Turkish, and Chinese. The free plan costs nothing, billed forever, and includes unlimited practice sessions, filler-word detection, words-per-minute tracking, a speech timer and word count, a basic clarity score, and storage for the last five sessions. Mic Buddy is listed for iPhone, iPad, and Mac; the website says an Android version is coming to Google Play. The maker says audio recordings and transcriptions are processed and stored on the device, not uploaded to its servers. Paid options are listed at $12.99 a month, $29.99 a year, $49.99 a year, and $99.99, paid once. Premium is marked “Coming soon.”
