Frequently asked questions

What filler words does it detect?

Um, uh, like, you know, so, basically, actually, right, and okay. The tool counts each one and highlights your most common filler.

What is a good speaking pace?

For presentations, 130 to 160 words per minute is a comfortable pace. Below 100 feels slow to listeners. Above 180 is hard to follow. Conversational speech sits around 150 WPM.

Can I set a target time?

Yes. Set a target (1 to 120 minutes) and the tool tracks whether you are ahead, behind, or on pace during recording.

Does this work on my phone?

Yes, in browsers that support the Web Speech API (Chrome, Edge, Safari). Firefox does not support the Speech Recognition API yet.

Is this rehearsal timer free?

Completely free. No account, no limits. Practice as many times as you want.
