 When we embark on any journey, it is critical that we set goals that are achievable and we track our progress towards those goals. When it comes to improving our public speaking skills, how do we track our progress? Because it can be quite subjective. If you are using Udly, the AI-based speech coach, I have good news for you. Tracking your progress just became easy with the new dashboard feature. Let me show you how. If you want to learn more about Udly, head over to app.udly.ai and create your own account. Udly is a speech coach powered by artificial intelligence and it is designed to enhance your journey to become a better communicator and a public speaker. Once you sign up, head over to the dashboard. I have set up four areas of focus analytics that are relevant to me. If I want to change them, simply click on this graph icon and let me remove all four by clicking on this remove button. If I now click on update dashboard, my focus analytics are empty. To choose a focus area, you can click on choose a focus or you can again click on the graph option. You can think of this focus analytics as KPIs or key performance indicators. As of now, they are broken into four groups, authority, presence, listening and usage. Under each group, there are specific focus analytics. In the authority group, we have filler words, weak words and repetition. If you want to know more details about what this specific analytics measures, you can click on this arrow. It will explain the focus area. In this case, filler words are words or vocalizations like a used to fill in pauses during the speech. When we are delivering any speech, we should strive to avoid using the filler words because they can be distracting. If you are new to public speaking or English is not your mother tongue, you should definitely add filler words to your measurement. To do that, all you need to do is click on plus. And our first focus area is filler words. One of the areas that I personally struggle is the pace in which I speak. If I scroll down, I'll find pacing. Let me add that to my focus analytics. Let's assume that the third area that we want to focus on is our usage of weak words. If I click on the arrow, this analytics explains that words like kind of just are often used to add emphasis or indicate uncertainty, but add little meaning. So let's measure our usage of weak words. You can go through this list and decide what is relevant to you because every person has their own unique needs. For my fourth focus analytics, I will choose monologue. Monologues can occur when one person talks for a long time without giving anyone else a chance to speak. So I want to make sure that after a few minutes, I stop and give others an opportunity whenever I'm in an online meeting. Once I have decided what is relevant to me, I can click on update dashboard. You'd leave will instantly go through my data and create a graph for me showing my progress over time. The green line indicates the target. In case of filler words, the target is 3%. If you are below the target, it means you are doing well. You are not using too many filler words. If you are speaking above the target, you need to review your speech and apply some strategies to reduce the usage of filler words. On the left hand side is a summary of my overall average and what are the next steps I can do to improve this particular focus analytics. It highlights to me that I tend to use a and a while I am delivering a speech. So I need to look out for those words. If I click on pacing, it gives me an analysis of how I am delivering my speech. Here the target is 115 to 170 words per minute. This means as long as my pace is within this green band, I'm doing good. If it is below, it means I'm talking too slowly. If it goes above, it means I'm talking too fast. And the same is available for weak words and monologues. You can look at your progress for the past seven days or the past 30 days. As you continue using this product and collect data, you should be able to see the analytics over a longer period of time. As more people start using the product, I'm sure the team at Udly will start adding additional focus analytics for us. For example, I would personally love to see a focus analytics on vocal variety, specifically the pitch, the high and the low in your voice that can make your speech sound more interesting and engaging to your audience. So that's a quick look at the Udly dashboard and the focus analytics. What are your four focus analytics? Please leave a comment. I hope you find this video useful.
