It is already part of my routine to train everyday with this app. Not sure if my speech skills improved for my company meetings, but my confidence boosted 100%. Amazing app overall

I built an app called AI Talk Coach to analyze audio recordings and give structured feedback on how you speak. It looks at clarity, pacing, filler words, and a few other speaking metrics.

The motivation was simple: I wanted to improve my communications skills but hiring a coach wasn’t realistic. So i saw that reviewing yourself is the best way to improve, and that gave me the idea to automate the feedback loop.

The idea behind the app is to have a "speaking gym" where i can practice daily and get feedback on what to improve on and how.

How it works (high-level):

* audio recorded * processed + normalized client-side * sent to backend for transcription * analysis pipeline evaluates cadence, filler words, clarity, structure (via rules and LLM) * model generates a breakdown + improvement suggestions

Limitations / known issues:

* tone/confidence scoring is still rough * long recordings (>180s) are not well supported yet * No video support yet

If anyone has ideas for better speech-analysis heuristics, or thoughts on whether this solves a real need, I’d love feedback.

Happy to answer any technical questions.
