Record the pitch, answer, or speech you actually have to give, then see what to fix: the structure, the rhetoric, and the delivery.
For interviews, keynotes, investor pitches, and speeches that matter
Made for high-stakes speaking
Orai is strong for building a daily practice habit with lessons. speaking.app is stronger when a specific pitch, interview, or speech has to improve.
Rehearse the real talk, or upload a recording you already have, and get feedback on structure, rhetoric, pacing, pauses, and the weak words that creep in.
Rewrites a rambling answer into a tight STAR, PREP, or SOAR structure, with a clear result and fewer filler words.
Drill timed prompts and find out whether your answer had a clear point, a real structure, and a clean finish.
Breaks your pitch into the parts investors look for: hook, problem, solution, market, traction, business model, team, and the ask, then flags which parts are solid and which still need covering, with what to add where it runs thin.
Beyond the structure
It flags every filler word, weak word, and repetition, names the rhetoric that lands, and rewrites the rambling parts into a tighter structure.
Toggle any layer to see what it catches, or switch to the improved version to see the rewrite.
Real breakdowns
Pitches, world-champion talks, and TED stages, all broken down in full.
The comparison
| Compared | speaking.app | Orai |
|---|---|---|
| Rewrites your answer into a framework | Rewrites your answer into the framework that fits (STAR, PREP, SOAR, and more), with a before and after. | Lessons cover conciseness and clarity, but it does not rewrite your answer into a framework. |
| Rhetorical-device detection | Names the devices you used, like anaphora and the rule of three. | Feedback centers on delivery metrics; it does not name the rhetorical devices you use. |
| Startup pitch analysis | Analyzes a spoken startup pitch element by element: hook, problem, solution, market, traction, business model, team, and the ask. | Freestyle and script practice, but no structural breakdown built for pitches. |
| Real-time vs recorded | Recorded. You rehearse and review before the moment. | Also recorded. Feedback arrives right after each lesson or freestyle recording. |
| Roleplay or simulated partner | Built for solo rehearsal, not roleplay. | No conversational AI partner either; practice is lessons plus record and review. |
| Price and free tier | A permanent free tier covers the basics: filler words, pace, and a transcript. Pro ($19.99/mo or $99.99/yr, with a 7-day free trial on annual) adds rewrites, rhetoric, and pitch and speech analysis. | Advertises a 7-day free trial, then paid plans. See Orai for current pricing. |

The verdict
Bottom line: Orai trains speaking as a daily habit. speaking.app makes the specific talk you have to give better.
Yes, if your goal is a specific pitch, interview, or speech rather than a general practice habit. You record a real attempt, or upload one, and get feedback on delivery plus structure and rhetoric, including a rewrite into a stronger framework. If you want short gamified lessons on your phone, Orai fits that better.
speaking.app analyzes what you said, not only how you sounded. It rewrites your answer into a framework like STAR or PREP, names the rhetorical devices you used, and breaks a spoken startup pitch down element by element, from the hook to the ask. That combination is the main difference from Orai. speaking.app also flags uptalk, jargon, and complex sentences in a pitch. Orai is strongest on guided practice and speaking-performance metrics: filler words, pace, energy, conciseness, clarity, confidence, and facial expression.
No, by design. There is no course curriculum. You learn by doing: record an attempt, read the feedback, fix one thing, and run it again. For study material there is a library of fully analyzed real speeches, from YC demo-day pitches to a World Championship winner, plus a concept library that explains techniques like the rule of three. If you want a structured, gamified curriculum, Orai is the better pick.
Yes. speaking.app works in your phone or desktop browser, and you can add it to your home screen. You can record practice anywhere, on mobile or desktop, without an app-store download. Orai is a mobile-first app; if you want a polished phone app with lesson streaks, that is where it is strong.
Yes, and Pro has a free trial on top of that. The free tier needs no credit card and gives real feedback on impromptu and interview practice: filler words, pace, and a transcript. Pro ($19.99/mo or $99.99/yr) adds framework rewrites, rhetorical-device detection, full speech analysis, spoken startup-pitch analysis, and uploading existing recordings. The annual plan also comes with a 7-day free trial. Orai advertises a 7-day free trial too, then paid plans.
