Slop Hound

The Slop Hound slop-o-meter for content.

Coming soon to the App Store

So much of what we watch and listen to now is written by an AI and read aloud, and it has a sound. The same clichés, the same rhythms, the same hollow hype. Slop Hound listens to whatever's playing, spots those tells, and gives you a rough 0–10 slop score.

How it works

  1. Listen. Tap 'Listen' and put your phone near a audio source (TV, computer, or live speaker even). It turns the audio into text right on your device and scores it live.
  2. Or paste. Copy text from anywhere and tap 'Paste'.
  3. See the tells. The score climbs as clichés and AI-style rhythms pile up. Tap the counters to see exactly what got flagged, and watch the flagged words turn red in the transcript.
  4. Ask Claude (optional). Add your own Anthropic API key and get a second opinion from Claude, with the cost of each analysis, usually a few cents, shown right in the app.

What it catches

Little verbal tics that show up again and again in machine-written scripts:

"let that sink in""here's what nobody tells you""delve into" "it's not X, it's Y""every X, every Y, every Z"tricolons hollow hypestaccato fragments"but here's where it gets interesting"

A fair warning

This is a rough gauge of writing style, not a verdict. Plenty of thoughtful humans lean on the same clichés, and a high score doesn't prove anyone used AI. Take it in the spirit it's meant: a fun take from the Slop Hound slop-o-meter.

Your privacy

Slop Hound runs on your device. Audio is turned into text on the phone and is never recorded or uploaded. A transcript only leaves your phone if you tap Analyze with Claude, and then only to Anthropic, using your own key. No accounts, no ads, no tracking. (Oops, was that a little AI slop there?)
