About

Orato is a speech practice app for iPhone that gives you structured sessions with concrete feedback on pacing, fluency, vocabulary, and coherence. Choose from six practice modes: impromptu, defend a topic, three questions, tell a story, elevator pitch, or read aloud.

The coaching runs entirely on-device using Apple Intelligence. Your voice never leaves your phone, and sessions work in airplane mode with no account required. Each session ends with three specific tips to improve your delivery.

Free users get three coached sessions per week. Orato Pro removes the limit with a monthly, yearly, or lifetime subscription. An optional enhanced AI coaching mode sends transcript text to OpenAI for deeper analysis, but it is off by default.

Why we picked it

Orato made the cut for running entirely on-device with Apple Intelligence — your voice never leaving the phone is worth naming for anyone practicing something personal, like an elevator pitch or defending an opinion, who wouldn't want that recorded on a server somewhere.
