What the feedback measures
Each answer is transcribed and measured. The review lists these numbers and picks one change for your next attempt.
- Pace
- Words per minute. 120–160 is easy to follow.
- Filler words
- Count and rate per minute of um, uh, like, you know, I mean, basically, literally.
- Long pauses
- Silences longer than two seconds after you start speaking.
- Time to main point
- Seconds until you first state an answer, detected from phrases like “I think” or “Yes”.
- Structure
- Which parts were found: point, reason, example, contrast, conclusion.
- Relevance
- Whether your answer uses the key words of the question.
