Why does the app need camera and microphone access?

Last updated: June 16, 2026

Short Answer

We need microphone access so you can record your speech for AI analysis. Camera access is required specifically for the Word of the Day video feature.

To provide feedback, Oompf needs to hear (and sometimes see) you.

  • Microphone: Required for all lessons and sessions. We analyze your audio to score your clarity, pacing, filler words, and structure.
  • Camera: Required for Word of the Day video recordings. We do not access your camera during standard audio-only sessions.

Your recordings are encrypted and private. We never share your audio or video with third parties.
