Hear what to improve before judges hear you

See your words-per-minute against the pace judges expect for your event, marked at the moments it speeds up or drags. A number on its own doesn’t help. Knowing exactly where you rushed the transition or stalled on the Q&A does.

Every pause over a beat is flagged and timed, so you can tell a breath from a stall. Long pauses tied to a slide change or a lost train of thought show up the same way: as a moment you can jump to and re-hear.

Clusters of “um,” “like,” and “so” are counted and placed on the timeline, not just tallied at the end. You’ll see whether they cluster around one weak section of the delivery or spread evenly through the whole thing.

Repeated phrases and restarted sentences are matched back to the exact audio, so you can hear the moment you doubled back instead of guessing which run-through it happened in.

Shifts in energy and inflection are marked across the attempt, so you can see where delivery goes flat, often the same stretch where pace slows or fillers cluster, and where it holds a judge’s attention.

How the attempt actually lands under pressure: a rushed transition, a buried key point, energy that drops right when the argument needs it most. This looks at the whole delivery together, not any one metric in isolation.

Whether a listener could follow the argument on one pass, without rewinding: sentences that run on until they lose the room, structure that gets hard to track, or a point that never quite lands.
