For conversations that move too fast

Hearing isn't the real problem. Processing speed is.

For people with Auditory Processing Disorder, ADHD, hearing loss, and anyone who struggles in noisy rooms, everyday speech feels rushed and muddled.

SpeechZen uses advanced noise reduction to clear the room, then slows down speech only when people talk too fast, so you never miss a beat.

The same words, at a pace you can follow.

Normal-paced speech passes straight through. Only the rushed parts are stretched, and pauses between sentences are trimmed so you stay in step with the conversation.

How it works

Three steps, every fraction of a second.

Tap the big round button and SpeechZen listens through your phone, then plays the result through your headphones or Bluetooth hearing aids.

Clears the room

Noise reduction strips away fans, traffic, dishes and restaurant hum, so voices stand out on their own.

every 10 ms

Listens for pace

SpeechZen counts the rhythm of syllables as people speak and notices when someone starts to rush.

syllables per second

Shifts only what's too fast

Fast stretches are gently slowed without changing the voice. Short pauses are trimmed to win the time back.

usually under ½ second behind
Designed to disappear

Simple enough to forget it's there.

One button

Tap to start, tap to stop. Everything else is optional.

Works with your hearing aids

If your aids stream phone calls, they stream SpeechZen too. Headphones work just as well.

Keeps going even when the app is minimized

Switch apps or lock your screen and SpeechZen keeps listening. It lives in your notification bar, where you can stop it with one tap.

Private by design

Everything happens on your phone. Nothing you hear is recorded, saved or sent anywhere.

Voices stay natural

Slowed speech keeps its pitch, so the people you love still sound like themselves.

Just ask

Tell the built-in helper "voices sound boomy" or "it's too quiet", and it adjusts the settings for you.

You shouldn't have to work harder to hear. Let the world shift to you.

Hear calmly. At your own pace.
