Replay the moment. Settle the argument.
Match Clips are off by default. Turn them on and Buzzord saves a short local recording of each catch so you can replay the moment and settle the argument. Clips stay on your iPhone and you can delete them anytime.

Match Clips
Match Clips are off by default. Turn them on and Buzzord saves a short local recording of each catch so you can replay the moment and settle the argument. Clips stay on your iPhone and you can delete them anytime.
Privacy
Private by design
Buzzord processes speech live on your iPhone. It does not upload your audio, does not show or store a transcript, and never sends your speech to a Buzzord server. There is no account, no analytics, and no ads. Listening stays in the foreground unless you explicitly enable background listening, and nothing is recorded unless you explicitly enable Match Clips. You are in charge, always.

Recognition accuracy can vary with distance, overlapping speech, accents, music, television audio, and background noise. Buzzord is designed for games and awareness, not safety-critical monitoring.
