What Um Challenge Does
Help speakers count their filler words and cut them through a structured 30-day speaking challenge with daily prompts and a measurable baseline.
Record two minutes of unscripted talk and get your personal ums-per-minute count.
Track um, uh, like, and you-know separately so you know exactly which filler is yours.
Drills that replace filler with silence — the single technique that fixes most speakers.
One short speaking prompt a day, each slightly harder than the last.
Swap recordings with another challenger and count each other's fillers honestly.
Compare day 1 to day 30 with your filler rate charted side by side.
How Um Challenge Works
Talk for two unscripted minutes about anything. The counter gives you a starting ums-per-minute number — no judgment, just data.
Each day brings a short speaking prompt and a focus drill, usually built around pausing instead of filling.
On day 30 you re-record the baseline topic and see your old and new filler rates side by side.

Get matched
Partners respond. Transparent pricing. No surprises.
Filler words buy the brain time to plan the next phrase. They are a habit, not a flaw — which is why counted, deliberate practice reduces them quickly.
Yes. 'Like', 'you know', 'so', and 'basically' are tracked the same way. You pick your target filler after the baseline recording.
Most people notice themselves catching the filler mid-sentence within the first week; the 30-day ladder is about making the pause automatic.
