Dictalus
A private rep gym for speaking under pressure
Record a 30-second answer, get scored on how you actually sounded: pace, filler words, pauses, pitch variation, energy; plus a colored "language arc" showing where you hedged and where you committed. One concrete fix per rep. A guided curriculum: 7 modules and 32 drills, from your first hello and small talk to interviews, meetings, etc. and Pre-Game lets you build the plan for a real upcoming moment and rehearse it out loud. 5 free reps a day, web + iOS. Free tools to analyze speech too!
Hi!,
I'm Art, a scientist who spent 25 years presenting research and still watched the perfect answer show up five minutes after the meeting ended.
The pattern that finally made me build this: I answered closed questions with open lectures. "Will it be ready by Friday?" is a yes-or-no question, and I gave it three paragraphs of methodology. Every time. Knowing the material was never the problem. Delivery is a motor skill, and I had spent zero minutes training it.
So Dictalus is a gym, not a course. You get a prompt, record a short take, and get numbers: words per minute, fillers per minute, deliberate pauses, pitch variation in semitones (so "you sound monotone" is finally falsifiable), and a segment-by-segment arc of your certainty and tone; where you committed and where you slid into "sort of, I think, maybe."
Then one fix. Then you run it back.
Things I cared about that you might too:
— Privacy is the design, not a setting: recordings are deleted the moment scoring finishes by default, and the live meeting meter runs entirely on-device. Nothing leaves your phone, unless you want to do more with it.
— The analyzer and live meter are free without an account. Feed the analyzer the Gettysburg Address: zero hedges in 272 words. then feed it your last project update. That comparison is the whole product in ten seconds.
— Free is real: 5 scored reps a day forever, full curriculum included. You can subscribe to get a more powerful model and faster results.
Happy to answer anything about the speech metrics (under the hood) or the build.
