IMPROMPTU SPEAKING
Here's how it works. You have 60 seconds to speak on a given topic. Parrot will analyze your speech for filler words, low confidence, and pace then generate a score to help with your improvement
WORD OF THE DAY
Bring yourself to the next level by trying to apply the word of the day into your speeches, increasing your vocabulary in the most practical way.
WHY PARROT WORKS?
Parrot works because it puts you in a space where you have to think on your feet. You have to be ready regardless of the topic to speak, and this emulates normal conversation in the real world. A Conversation is an exchange and it changes quickly. In order to be good at it, you have to be quick enough to keep up. Parrot helps with this and the best part is it is -- FREE!
FEATHERS:
Feathers are the key to everything in Parrot. They allow you to unlock more speeches, categories, and more. You are allowed speeches per day, but you can use a feather to unlock 3 more!
You can earn feathers by winning awards, and gaining levels. You can also buy more feathers.
1 Feather: $1.99 USD$1.99 each)
10 Feathers: $9.99 USD($0.99 each)
30 Feathers: $24.00 USD($0.80 each)
I like the idea, but this app doesn’t even work. The app constantly freezes/closes, you can’t log back in once you’ve registered, etc. I’m pretty sure there aren’t any algorithms in the speech scoring too. An MVP that isn’t really viable at this point. Needs more work on development.
This is an interesting way to practice speaking on a whim or for a speech. Previous review must be a for an old build as I had no issues with crashes or bugs. I’ll continue to use this daily and see where it takes me.
This app has an easy layout, is thoughtful, and very detailed-oriented! When you first open the app an explanation of how to use the app is given to you as you you click through each question. I love that a word of the day is given to use as practice. Not only can you improve on your speaking skills with awesome feedback, you a also get the chance to expand your vocabulary! Lastly, the play back feature of your speech is very thoughtful, because how else can you improve if can’t actually hear yourself talk! Thanks or the app. I’ll be a toast master in no time!
So glad someone did this app correctly! Parrot helped me get over social anxiety by learning how tone and pace affect my communication. The metrics & analytics that show you how you sound in real time are awesome! Not only is it fun to use but it also has changed my life by making me less self-conscious when I speak.
I’ve recorded two impromptu speeches so far. The app lets me play them back, but it doesn’t give me any feedback, which is the reason why I have the app in the first place. It basically states, “No Speech” even though there’s a recorded speech in there. Without the feedback, the app is useless — I really don’t need another voice recorder!
