Read anything out loud for 10 to 30 seconds and an AI voice coach rates your speaking voice out of 100, scores five qualities listeners notice, and gives you specific tips. Try it once for free; your recording isn't kept.
How it works
Three steps and about a minute of your time. A quiet room and the mic on your phone or laptop are all you need.
Step 1
Press the mic and read anything aloud for 10 to 30 seconds: a paragraph, a joke or a quick intro about yourself. Or upload a WAV, MP3, M4A, OGG or WebM file. Play it back and re-record until it sounds like you.
Step 2
Reviews run on an AI model, so you need a free account, and new accounts can try it once for free. The credit cost is shown on the button before you send anything, and a failed review is refunded automatically.
Step 3
You get an overall score out of 100, a label from Developing to Outstanding, a bar for each of five qualities, what you already do well, and two or three things to try next. Record again any time to compare.
Highlights
A number on its own isn't much use. Every rating explains itself, so you know what to keep and what to change.
Clarity, tone, resonance, pace and expressiveness each get their own score from 0 to 100. A voice can be clear but flat, or warm but rushed, and seeing the parts tells you which one is holding your overall score back.
The AI is instructed to be specific and kind: two or three strengths it actually heard in your clip, and two or three practical tips, such as pausing between sentences or finishing words more crisply. No vague "nice voice", and no mockery.
Most people dislike their recorded voice because it's the first time they hear it without the extra bass of bone conduction. A rating from a calm, neutral listener, based on the same sound everyone else hears, is a fairer way to judge it than your own first reaction.
The rating covers how your voice sounds and nothing else. The AI is told not to guess or comment on your gender, ethnicity, accent origin, health or looks, and to ignore any instructions spoken in the clip. Your recording is deleted once the review is ready and is never used to train AI.
Quick reference
The five qualities that shape how a speaking voice comes across, what the AI listens for in each, and a quick way to improve it.
| Quality | What the AI listens for | Quick way to improve |
|---|---|---|
| Clarity | How easy your words are to follow | Finish consonants; don't trail off |
| Tone | Pleasant and balanced, not harsh or strained | Relax your jaw and shoulders first |
| Resonance | Fullness and richness of the sound | Hum 'mm', then speak on that buzz |
| Pace | Speed and natural rhythm of speech | Pause at commas and full stops |
| Expressiveness | Variety in pitch, energy and emotion | Stress one key word per sentence |
Each quality is scored from 0 to 100. The overall score is the AI's overall impression of your clip, not a simple average, so it can sit a few points above or below the mean of the five bars.
Your overall score is the AI's impression of the whole clip on a 0 to 100 scale, and the label next to it comes straight from that number. The model is calibrated so that most untrained voices land somewhere between about 55 and 78, and scores of 90 or more are kept for clearly exceptional recordings. In other words, a 68 is a perfectly normal, pleasant voice, not a failing grade.
Look at the five bars before you look at the total. The lowest bar is usually the quickest win, because it's the habit a listener notices first. Then read the tips: they're written for this one recording, so they point at what the AI actually heard, such as rushing the ends of sentences or dropping your volume on the last word.
Scores move a few points between takes, just as a human listener's opinion would. Room echo, a laptop fan, reading something unfamiliar, or speaking right after you wake up can all cost points. To compare progress fairly, use the same text, the same room and the same distance from the mic each time.
Speaking voices respond quickly to practice, because most of what listeners hear is habit, not anatomy. You can't change the length of your vocal folds, but you can change your breath, your pace, how clearly you shape words and how much your voice moves. Pick the one or two areas your rating flagged and spend a few minutes a day on them.
Record the same paragraph once a week and rate it again. Hearing the difference between week one and week four is the best motivation there is, and the scores give you a simple way to track it. If you want hard numbers too, the free voice pitch test and voice Hz test measure your speaking pitch right in your browser, and the rest of our free voice tests work the same way.
