Public Speaking Training with AI

Software that reads a transcript can tell you a sentence ran long. It can't tell you that you paused in the middle of a phrase instead of at the end of the thought, that your voice stayed flat for forty seconds, or that you sped up on the one number that mattered. Delivery hears all of that, and every score comes with the moment it came from, quoted back in your own words - fillers included, exactly where they landed.

Nine scores in two groups. Content, for what you said - Main Point & Purpose, Structure & Flow, Precision & Specificity, Concision, Audience Impact. Delivery, for how you said it - Confident Language, Pace & Pausing, Vocal Presence, Fluency.

A session is up to three recordings, with feedback after each one. The first take doesn't count for anything - it isn't scored and it isn't kept - so you can use it to find out how you actually sound rather than to perform.

Between takes you get more than a written note. The AI rewrites your message in your own words and at your own length, leaving every number, decision and commitment exactly as you made it, then reads it back with the pauses and the emphasis in the right places. Hearing the pause teaches more than being told to pause. It then names one thing to change, and you go again. A text coach is there too: it briefs you before the first take and works on one fix at a time between takes. It hasn't heard your recording, so it works from what you tell it.

Only your last take is recorded as the result. You're graded on where you got to, not where you started.

The library is built around the five kinds of message that are hardest to get right out loud: delivering bad news up the line, handling challenge and disagreement, asking for something you need approved, explaining and updating, and speaking to people above or outside your team. Fifteen briefs in all, each one a situation, a listener, and something you have to say.

Today those briefs are written for a sales team - a forecast that slipped, a quota you're going to miss, a discount that needs approval by four o'clock. The skill itself isn't specific to sales, and Free Practice lets you record anything you have to say, whatever your role.

A discount request and a lost-deal post-mortem are not the same job. A tool that graded every message as "be faster, be more direct" would make people worse at exactly the conversations that matter most. Delivery reads the situation first: a measured pace when the news is hard is scored as right, not as low energy, and two sentences preparing someone before you tell them something difficult counts as framing, not as burying the point.

It also separates two things that look alike. Hedging weakens what you're saying - "I kind of think maybe we could possibly" - and it is always marked down. Softening looks after the person listening - "I know this isn't the news you were hoping for, and I want to be straight with you" - and in the right moment it is the whole skill. Most feedback treats the two as the same thing. This doesn't.

One rule never changes: Delivery coaches how you said it, never whether you were right. It won't tell you the decision was wrong, rewrite your plan, or touch your numbers. That boundary is built into the product rather than promised in the marketing, and it's what makes it safe to rehearse the real message you have to deliver this afternoon.

Your recording is graded and then discarded. It is never stored, never replayed, and never attached to your record - only the scores and the written feedback are kept. Grading runs in the EU and works in whatever language you speak; the spoken playback of the coaching is available in the platform's supported audio languages. Voice is part of the Delivery price, so there is no add-on to buy.
