speaking.app VS DevTools Advanced

speaking.app's answer

speaking.app began with a personal realization. Its founder, Bjarte Sunde, an engineer by training, found that in a world increasingly shaped by AI, the skill that mattered most was still an old one: speaking clearly and confidently when it counts. While working on his own communication, he wanted honest feedback and a private way to practice, without an expensive coach and without waiting until the moment had already passed.

The product is built on a simple belief: how you come across in an interview, a pitch, or on stage should not come down to luck or budget. Everyone deserves a place to rehearse, hear how they actually sound, and improve before it matters. What began as a personal tool is now used by individuals, founders, students, and organizations to turn high-stakes speaking from something you hope goes well into something you have prepared for. Built in Dublin by Prosody Ltd, speaking.app is working toward a future where confident communication is something anyone can develop, not a privilege of the few.

speaking.app's answer

speaking.app analyzes both how you speak and what you say, then coaches you until it becomes second nature.

• Delivery analysis on every session: pacing (words per minute), pauses, filler words, and clarity.
• Smart Rewrite detects which of 15 speech frameworks (such as STAR or PREP) your answer is closest to, scores how well you follow it, and rewrites it in that structure.
• Founder pitch analysis maps a startup or investor pitch to the 13 elements investors listen for, rates each, and returns an investor-style verdict from Strong Yes to Pass.
• Coaching feedback after every session tells you what to work on next, so each practice run has a clear focus.

Most tools stop at delivery metrics. speaking.app tells you what to fix, shows you how, and helps you rehearse it until it sticks.

speaking.app's answer

Choose speaking.app because it does more than measure your delivery. It helps you fix it and rehearse until you are ready.

• It goes past delivery metrics. Beyond pacing and filler words, you get structural feedback and an AI rewrite of what you actually said, so you improve the substance, not just the surface.
• It coaches you, then you iterate. After each session it tells you what to work on next, so every practice run has a focus and progress compounds.
• It is built for specific, high-stakes moments. A dedicated pitch analysis for founders (the 13 elements investors listen for, with a verdict), plus 1,400+ real interview questions for named companies, roles, accelerators, and admissions.
• It works solo or across a whole program. Practise on your own, or run a cohort from a coaching dashboard (accelerators, universities, coaching firms).

It is practice software for getting genuinely better beforehand, not a live in-call copilot.

speaking.app's answer

speaking.app is for people with a high-stakes speaking moment coming up, and the organizations that train them.

• Individuals: job seekers rehearsing interviews, startup founders preparing pitches and demo day, and professionals practising presentations and public speaking.
• Organizations running structured practice programs: accelerators, universities, and coaching firms that use a coaching dashboard to manage participants and track progress.
• Toastmasters and clubs: members use the free filler-word Ah-Counter and speech timer to run and time their meetings, no account needed.

speaking.app's answer

speaking.app is a modern web application. There is nothing to download or install.

• Runs anywhere: works in any browser as a Progressive Web App (PWA), installable on any device.
