Buzzord: Word Alarm & Counter

Catch the words you choose.

Add any word or short phrase up to 4 words, pick an alert, and tap Start Listening. Whenever Buzzord hears a match, it sounds off, pulses, and keeps count. Live speech processing happens on your iPhone using on-device recognition.

USE BUZZORD FOR

• Party and family games

• Catchphrases

• Speech habit awareness while you practice a talk

• Words you are trying to stop saying

• Classroom challenges and family swear jars

• Counting how often a commentator says that phrase

• Any game where hearing a word changes the rules

ALERTS YOUR WAY

• Eleven built-in sounds, with a Fire Alarm as the default

• Record your own three-second alert

• Spoken Alert: type a phrase and your iPhone says it in a System Voice

• Quiet mode: counts, visual pulses, and haptics with no alert audio

• Adjustable alert volume

TUNED TO YOU

• Input Gain control from -6 dB to +12 dB

• Optional minimum classification confidence control

• Give each phrase its own recognition language

• Use the on-device recognition languages available on your iPhone

• Counts persist until you reset them, with per-phrase and reset-all controls

GO FURTHER, ONLY IF YOU SAY SO

• Background Listening is off by default. Turn it on before a session and Buzzord can keep listening while you switch apps or lock your iPhone. Return to Buzzord and tap Stop Listening to end the session.

• Match History is off by default. Turn on Save matched audio and Buzzord saves a short local recording of each accepted match so you can replay it.

• Select and export match recordings through the iOS share sheet, or permanently clear individual phrases or all saved matches.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Buzzord processes speech live on your iPhone. It does not upload your audio, show or store a transcript, or send your speech to a Buzzord server. There is no account, analytics, advertising, or tracking. Full listening sessions are never recorded. Accepted match clips are saved only when you explicitly enable Match History, and a custom alert is stored only when you deliberately record and accept one.

One purchase. Full access. No subscriptions, in-app purchases, trials, or paid unlocks.

Recognition accuracy and timing can vary with distance, overlapping speech, accents, music, television audio, the installed language model, and background noise. Buzzord is designed for games and awareness, not critical or emergency monitoring.
