AI speaking practice · private by default

Build a better voice in two minutes a day.

Record a short take, get transcript-backed coaching cards, then try one sharper rewrite. Unmute helps you reduce fillers, slow down, structure your thoughts, and practise real communication without turning it into a performance.

Now with books, video lessons, token-based AI reflections, and a safer public Voices feed.

Microphone access is used only when you record. Share only if you choose.

What worked
You opened with the outcome.
That made the idea feel useful before you explained the details.
Pattern to notice
Your strongest line came after a pause.
Keep the pause. Cut the filler that came before it.
Try next
End with one ask.
"Try it this Friday" lands better than a broad summary.
The gap users keep naming

People do not need another vague confidence app.

They need objective feedback, low-pressure reps, replayable progress, and a private way to practise before the meeting, interview, pitch, or difficult conversation.

01

Generic AI advice gets old fast

"Speak slower" is not enough. Unmute points to the line, pause, filler, rewrite, and next move.

02

Voice memos have no coach

Recording yourself works, but only if you know what to look for. Unmute turns replay into reflection.

03

Toastmasters-level effort is too heavy

Most people need a daily micro-rep first: low setup, no audience, and useful enough to repeat.

The Unmute fix

A complete speaking loop, small enough to do daily.

Unmute now covers the full loop: pick a prompt, record, transcribe, reflect, replay, learn from a lesson, and optionally share safely.

1

Choose a real speaking rep

Daily prompts plus Persuade, Tell, Argue, Teach, and Pitch modes help you practise the kind of speaking you actually use.

2

Record privately

Unmute asks for microphone access only when you record. Silent/too-short takes are guarded before they waste time or tokens.

3

Get a concrete breakdown

Each AI reflection gives rewrites plus four cards: win, notice, try next, and highlight. Then you can keep it private or share.

What is inside now

Not just recording. A coach, a library, and a safer practice room.

The app has grown from a daily voice memo habit into a full communication practice system.

Transcript-backed scoring

Reflections use the transcript and audio metrics together, so feedback can point to pacing, fillers, pauses, clarity, and structure.

Book lessons

Practice against communication ideas from the Library, then see how well your take applied the lesson.

Video lessons

YouTube-derived clips can become bite-sized speaking lessons, so the Library can grow beyond books.

Token-based AI

Each AI breakdown costs a clear token amount. Pro unlocks monthly tokens, full Library access, and richer coaching.

Library

Practice with something worth saying.

Unmute now has a Library tab for books and video lessons, so speaking practice is not just random prompts. You can learn a technique, speak it back, then get scored on the application.

Books tab

Public-domain and curated lessons become prompts you can rehearse out loud.

Videos tab

Admin tools can extract lessons from YouTube transcripts and publish them into the app.

Applied score

After a take, Unmute compares your transcript to the lesson instead of grading vibes.

Books Videos Prompts

Marcus Aurelius: Speak from first principles

Practice turning a dense idea into plain language.

Leadership clip: Start with the listener

Extract the frame, then pitch it back in your own words.

Prompt: Explain a tradeoff clearly

Train structure under mild pressure.

Voices

Hear how other people solve the same prompt.

The public feed is optional, slower than social, and designed for learning. Shared takes include audio, transcript, and coaching cards. Listeners can report content or block a speaker.

What we fixed — and why

Every piece of Unmute removes a real practice friction.

The roadmap came from user feedback: people want technical feedback, privacy, repeatable practice, and examples of what better speaking sounds like.

"I don't have time."

Fix: Two minutes, one prompt, one specific improvement. The rep is small enough to repeat.

"I'd be mortified if anyone heard."

Fix: Private by default. Sharing is explicit, and the public feed includes report/block controls.

"I don't know what 'better' looks like."

Fix: Voices and Library lessons show real examples, then the AI coach turns your take into concrete next steps.

Privacy and App Store readiness

Built for microphone trust, subscriptions, and user safety.

Unmute now surfaces the controls reviewers and users expect: clear permission copy, data export, account deletion, restore purchases, legal links, and UGC safety tools.

Private history

Audio, transcripts, and reflections stay tied to your account unless you discard, delete, or explicitly share a take.

Paywall clarity

Plans show price, duration, auto-renewal terms, restore purchases, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Use.

Public feed controls

Shared Voices can be reported, and listeners can block speakers without exposing anonymous identity.
