Live, not later
Your pace keeps updating even when you speak without pausing.
Pauses don't count
Taking a breath won't make your result look artificially slow. Only speaking time is measured.
Red means slow down
One number shows your pace. Red tells you to slow down.
While you speak
Next to your slides on the Mac, in your hand on the iPhone. Both versions are included in one purchase.
From the menu bar
Start, stop and check your current pace without bringing the app to the front.
A clear warning
The banner won't block your clicks, so you can keep controlling your slides.
Keep it in view
The optional floating display stays on top and shows your pace and waveform.
Your presentation language
A good speaking pace depends on the language, so WordPace stores the limits separately.
Your presentation language
Choose the language you're presenting in. WordPace remembers a separate limit for each one. Available presentation languages depend on your device and Apple's speech recognition.
The first time you use a language, your device downloads its speech model. After that, measurement works offline.
Your voice stays with you
WordPace processes the microphone signal directly on your iPhone or Mac. Once your pace is calculated, the audio data is discarded.
- No recording. WordPace never stores your voice.
- No transcript. The app counts words without saving what you said.
- No upload. WordPace has no network access of its own.
- Only your settings remain. Limits, presentation language and display options. The session recap disappears when closed. There is no saved session history.
Your talk. Your recap.
After your talk, see how your pace changed. Your words are never stored.
Pace, not a transcript
Average, peak, warnings and pace timeline. The recap disappears when closed.
The recap appears after a sufficiently long session.
Before you buy
Three things worth knowing first.
Current systems
WordPace requires macOS 26 or iOS 26.
Speech model
The first time you use a presentation language, your device needs an internet connection to download its model.
Visible warning
On Mac, the warning appears above regular windows, but not above another app in full-screen mode. On iPhone, it stays inside WordPace.
Questions, answered.
What is WordPace?
WordPace is an iPhone and Mac app that measures speaking pace live in words per minute during a talk. A red warning appears above your personal limit.
How do I measure speaking pace?
Select your presentation language, allow microphone access and start a session. WordPace shows your pace live. Pauses are excluded from actual speaking time.
What is a good speaking pace?
There is no universal ideal pace. Language, content and audience affect what is understandable. Rehearse your real talk, ask for feedback and adjust your personal limit.
What can I see after a talk?
After a sufficiently long session, WordPace shows average, peak, warnings and the pace timeline. The recap is temporary and disappears when closed.
Does WordPace work offline?
Recognition runs on your device. The first use of a language may require a speech model download. Once ready, that language works offline.
Does WordPace save my words?
WordPace stores neither audio recordings nor transcripts or session history. Only settings are saved.
Do I need a subscription or account?
No. WordPace is a one-time purchase for iPhone and Mac, without a subscription or account. The App Store shows the current price for your country.
