 The American author Mark Twain said that it usually takes him more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech. Mr. Twain may have said this in jest, but the message behind this quote is meaningful. We should always practice what we say in public. We can practice a speech in front of a mirror, with a friend and family, or with a mentor or coach. We do this because we seek feedback to improve ourselves. What about artificial intelligence or AI? Could we use AI to seek feedback? Let's find out. The recently launched app called Udly attempts to become your speech coach. It combines AI and linguistics to provide you feedback to help you become a better public speaker. The best part of this app, at least as of now, is it is completely free. Go to the Udly website. Link is in the video description and create your free account. You can start by reviewing speeches from famous people and how Udly deconstructs the speech and provides recommendations. As most of us would have guessed, Barack Obama gets a very high score on his speech and delivery, while Elon Musk, who is famous for using filler words, gets several recommendations to improve his speech delivery. There are several crash courses available on the site. I like the one created by co-founder Varun Puri. Varun breaks down the essence of public speaking. The entire course is around 20 minutes of quality training and well worth your time. The real value of the tool is when you decide to record your own speech or to upload your previously recorded speech. You can upload files of up to one hour in duration. I uploaded one of my YouTube videos to see how it works. Since this video went through multiple takes and editing, the final score will obviously be high. You can review all the suggestions and incorporate them in your speech. If I click on the record button and start recording, you will get a real sense of what Udly provides as value to your public speaking. Once you are done with your speech, click on the stop button and immediately Udly will start analyzing your speech and to provide you with feedback. There is no denying that feedback from an experienced coach or a mentor is the best approach to improve your public speaking. But there is also no denying the fact that AI is becoming increasingly useful in our lives. As I mentioned earlier, Udly is currently free. Why not use it as a tool in your arsenal to master public speaking?
