Oh wow, that's cool! I can see how this would be great for my clients to prepare for filming their videos as well as for presentations. Amazing.

[@alexanderlyon]

Yes, it has lots of potential! Great to hear from you, Carl.

This is an exciting review of an AI speech technology that is most useful for extemporaneous speaking. Grammarly Premium identifies written but not spoken filler words. At times, the reminders are annoying, but it makes you realize words that are not necessary. I like your recommendation about pausing, which has been most helpful with my public speaking students. AI technology is exploding, and I’m glad that you rose to the challenge by talking about this new product and the challenge of communicating clearly.

Thank you for your feedback!

This is great! And would be amazing for musicians as well. Heading to their site after this video. Thank you!

[@alexanderlyon]

Oh, yeah!

May be in future we will buy this device then we will try it 😅😅

[@Sebastianabc-if2gn]

There's a Windows Version, which isn't as immersive, but has the same features

[@surfrescue3232]

Haha I can imagine smoke coming off the goggles with gen y and z with the way they use LIKE every 3 seconds ! Honestly though I often wonder how these kids will ever be able to beak that habit .

[@alexanderlyon]

Ha! You're not joking! I hear you. I also teach college full time (in addition to KZbin) and my Gen Z-aged students do manage to drastically reduce their fillers with practice. So, I have hope! Ha.

[@erik.rodriguez]

Heh I did a project like this in college
