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.
