Speak for a minute. VoiceLab shows you, word by word, where your voice rose, fell and paused. Then it gives you one thing to change, and you say it again.
No account needed. The free Rapid Fire runs in your browser.
One take. One change. Say it again.
Most speaking advice is vague. VoiceLab shows you the exact moment, so you know what to fix.
Speak
A surprise question, a story, or your own talk. Timing lights keep you inside the window.
See it
Your pitch, pauses and words in one view. Tap any word to hear it back.
Say it again
One thing to change, then the same words again, with the change drawn over the first try.
The real app, in 30 seconds (sound on).
See what your voice is doing.

Um rain
“So, um, the plan was to launch on Monday, and, uh, we thought the team was ready, but, um…”
Counted in a real recording. VoiceLab marks every one in your take, so you can swap them for a pause.
Who did the talking?
Maya asks, “How was your weekend?”
Mostly you, and nothing asked back.

Speak on the spot
Read the greats out loud
Eighteen famous speeches, a part at a time. The words light up as you read, and afterwards you see which ones came through.
From “We choose to go to the moon”, John F. Kennedy, 1962. Read by an AI voice, which skips one word on purpose.
Your voice
One sentence, five meanings
Lift a different word each time. VoiceLab shows whether your highest pitch landed on the word you meant. Tap a take to hear it.
“I didn’t say she stole it.” means: Someone else said it.
Tell stories
You get the facts. You make it a story.
Guided story: “The lost phone”
- You lost your phone.+ Where did you look first?
- You looked everywhere.+ How did it get in the fridge?
- It was in the fridge.+ Who found it?
Story shape: Classic
- Where and who
- What went wrong
- The turn
- How it ended
- What it meant
Everyday conversation
Four people. Out loud. Three minutes.
They answer in their own voices and remember who they are. Tap a face to hear them.
Maya. Bright and curious. Asks about you, laughs easily.
“Hi! I don’t think we’ve properly met. I’m Maya, I just joined your team.”
As the situation goes. Afterwards: your share of the talking, the questions you asked back, and one thing to try.
