Clears the room
Noise reduction strips away fans, traffic, dishes and restaurant hum, so voices stand out on their own.
every 10 msHearing isn't always the real problem.
Sometimes, your brain just needs more time to process what you hear. For people with auditory processing difficulties, and others who struggle with fast speech or noisy environments, conversation can move faster than your brain has time to process.
With the tap of a button, Speech Zen clears away background noise, then slows only the rushed parts. No slurred voices. No missing the moment. Just more room to be there.

How it works
Three steps, every fraction of a second.
Tap the big round button and Speech Zen listens through your phone, then plays the result through your headphones or Bluetooth hearing aids.
Listens for pace
Speech Zen counts the rhythm of syllables as people speak and notices when someone starts to rush.
syllables per secondShifts 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 behindDesigned 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 Speech Zen too. Headphones work just as well.
Keeps going even when the app is minimized
Switch apps or lock your screen and Speech Zen 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 slow down for you.
Speech Zen is almost here, for Android and iPhone. Built with care by DreamCircuit Labs, starting with one family's dinner table.
