Say ummm.
We write the rest.

You speak as it comes, with your hesitations, your repetitions and your own words. ummm turns it into a letter, an email, a message or a note of condolence, in the tone you choose. You no longer have to work out how to say it.

Your voice is transcribed, then erased. Nothing is kept.

Speak as it comes, with your hesitations and your own words. ummm finds the right wording and the right tone.

Before

Um… I wanted to tell you… well… it's not easy actually…

I'm a bit annoyed right now, because… anyway, I don't even know how to explain it…

I can't find the right words to thank you…

How it works

Three steps, and your hesitations become a text that holds.

1

You speak

Say whatever comes to mind, naturally. Hesitations, repetitions and approximate words are no trouble: they are the raw material.

“Ummm, I wanted to say… well… it's not easy actually…”

The text appears

ummm works out whether it is a letter, an email or a message, and applies the conventions that go with it. You choose nothing before you speak.

You choose the tone

One tap, and the same text becomes professional, warm, firm or solemn. You see the difference at once, instead of guessing it.

Sixteen tones. Yours is among them.

The same account is not written the same way depending on what you want to obtain. Choose after seeing the text, not before.

For the moments when words fail

It is not the easy texts that cause trouble.

An institution to convince

Complaint, appeal, request. ummm writes the language an institution expects before it takes a file seriously, with the dates, the facts and the request stated without ambiguity.

A bereavement

You know what you feel, not how to write it. Just say it. You get a note that is restrained and true, with no ready-made phrases.

An apology to make

Owning a fault without excusing yourself is the hardest exercise there is. ummm names the fault, states its effect, sets out the remedy.

Something to publish

Post, listing, article or speech. The same ideas, shaped to the medium, with the rhythm that suits the reading.

Wherever you live

Speak as you think.
