A speech coach for your Mac
People hear every um. Now you can too.
See the habit as it happens. Replace it with silence. Watch the number fall.
AirDrop it, text yourself, or copy the link. We keep nothing.
A different job
Your dictation app removes your ums. Loorq, running right alongside it, helps you stop saying them.
Every dictation tool erases your fillers, so you never learn you say them. Loorq makes the habit visible and gives silence somewhere to land.
Try Loorq free on MacThe mechanism
Awareness changes the habit.
- Notice itSee the exact filler where it happened.
- Replace itTrade the reflexive filler for deliberate silence.
- Repeat itTrack a normalized rate over time.
Awareness training alone reduced targeted speech disfluencies for every participant studied.
Montes, Heinicke & Geierman, JABA 2019Six of nine participants held at least an 80% reduction weeks after training; none returned to their baseline rate.
Göhring & Bördlein, 2025These were small public-speaking studies of training protocols, not clinical trials of Loorq. Loorq applies their awareness-and-replacement principle to everyday speech.
