Release status: Version 1.8 is being prepared for App Store review; the current App Store download may still be 1.7.
Hear yourself instantly
Say a phrase, pause naturally, and hear your voice right away. TalkMirror works like an acoustic mirror, so you can notice pronunciation, pacing, rhythm, and clarity while the moment is still fresh.
There is no course to keep up with and no daily task to finish. Open it when you want to practice, then stop whenever you are done.
Practice in three ways
Free speaking — Voice Mirror
Use Mode 1 as a voice mirror for free speaking, reading aloud, or getting comfortable hearing your own voice.
Shadowing — Shadow Read
Choose an optional prompt from the free built-in practice library, or use your own text. Work through it one phrase at a time, hearing your recording followed by an Apple system reference voice.
TalkMirror 1.8 keeps the current material visible and puts the library and your own script in one material drawer. The built-in core-100 pack contains 100 original English prompts across everyday, business, and travel situations. It is optional practice material, not a course or a completion target.
Rehearsal — Stage Pacing
Prepare a presentation, interview, speech, phone call, or script before it begins. Mode 3 adds time and breath cues for a steadier delivery.
Time Boxing helps you rehearse against a chosen duration and optional section checkpoints. Breath Density shows how much of the recent window contains speech, with an Auto setting and adjustable difficulty levels so the guidance can fit different speaking rhythms. Both tools now share one clearer circular interface.
Return without pressure
The home screen offers one direct path to each mode, with an optional Today’s prompt for Shadow Read. Practice reminders are local, optional, and off by default. The Progress page shows recent activity and recorded practice time without streak loss, missed-day warnings, rankings, or a daily obligation.
TalkMirror can follow the system appearance or stay in Light or Dark mode.
Privacy-first by design
TalkMirror is built around a strict microphone and privacy rule set:
- RAM-only audio: Practice audio is processed in memory for immediate playback and is not saved as audio files by the app.
- Offline core practice: The three practice modes work without an account, cloud sync, or a developer-operated audio server.
- Foreground‑only: The microphone stops when the app goes to the background or the screen locks, and it does not automatically resume.
- Metrics only: Optional reports can save simple technical metrics (duration, counts, settings), not audio content.

TalkMirror is 100% free:
