Speaker coach helps you prepare in private to give more effective presentations.

Speaker coach evaluates your pacing, pitch, your use of filler words, informal speech, euphemisms, and culturally sensitive terms, and it detects when you’re being overly wordy or are simply reading the text on a slide. After each rehearsal, you get a report that includes statistics and suggestions for improvements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

REAL-TIME FEEDBACK<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you speak, coach gives on-screen guidance (in the lower-right corner of the window) about pacing, inclusive language, use of profanity, filler words, and whether you’re reading the slide text.<\/p>\n\n\n

REHEARSAL REPORT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Coach opens a Rehearsal Report that summarizes what it observed and offers recommendations. The report evaluates your pacing, pitch, your use of filler words, informal speech, euphemisms, and culturally sensitive terms, and it detects when you’re being overly wordy or are simply reading the text on a slide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
