Podium: Speech Coach
A speech coach that catches your “um” the instant you say it — in your browser
Run a live session with your browser’s speech recognition (or play the scripted sample talk): Podium counts fillers and tracks words-per-minute as you speak, cues you when you race, then hands you a scorecard with a letter grade, crutch word, longest run and pause ratio. Trends show the habit fading. Free, no install.
Stored in your browser only. Nothing you do in the web version is sent to our servers. Clear your browser data and it's gone — so export a backup from the in-app menu if you want to keep it.
This app is a community proposal.
Try the full browser version now. We build the iPhone and Android app once 100 people upvote it.
We'll email you once, when it ships. Unsubscribe anytime.

What you can do in Podium: Speech Coach on the web
Live filler and pace catching
Every word is matched against your filler list as it arrives; a pace gauge turns amber when you drift and red when you race past your target.
Scorecard with a letter grade
WPM, fillers per minute, longest unbroken run, pause ratio, a filler-word breakdown and a coach’s note written for that talk.
Trends across every session
Fillers-per-minute and pace line charts, your all-time top crutch word and best grade, plus every past scorecard.
Your own filler list
Add “basically”, “you know” or any personal tic; multi-word phrases are matched too. Reset to the nine defaults any time.
Pace target you choose
Set 90–200 WPM; the grade, the gauge band and the racing cue all follow it.
Scripted sample talk
A 20-second canned pitch with fillers and a racing burst, so you can see the coaching before you speak.
