What Articulate is
Articulate is an iOS app that uses AI to analyze speech recordings and give feedback intended to help people speak more clearly. Users choose from more than 365 prompts and record an answer of up to 60 seconds. The app reports a clarity score, speaking pace, filler words per minute, and a transcript highlighting fillers; it detects more than 14 filler patterns, including “um,” “uh,” “like,” and “you know.” Progress tools include streaks, statistics, charts, and insights. Pro adds a filler-word timeline, sentence-by-sentence breakdown, and personalized tips about filler habits. The app is presented for interview preparation, career growth, everyday conversations, presentations, and public speaking. The site says recordings are encrypted, used only for personal analysis, and not shared or sold. Recording requires microphone access, while AI analysis needs an internet connection. The free plan allows three recordings per week and includes scoring, filler detection, prompts, and progress tracking. Pro costs $4.99 a month and includes unlimited recordings and advanced insights.
