Cut "kind of" from the opening.

It appears 14 times in the first two minutes — soften nowhere, sharpen everywhere.

Listening · analysis in progress

An ear for every um, pause, and beat.

Rhetor measures four things you can act on. Each one is scored, timestamped, and explained in plain language — not a wall of numbers.

Category 01

Fillers

Every "um", "uh", "like", "you know" — counted and timestamped to the second.

23in 8:24
Category 02

Pacing

Words per minute over the whole talk, plus where your deliberate pauses landed.

148words / min
Category 03

Vocal variety

Pitch range and energy — are you landing emphasis, or droning in one note?

2.4octaves
Category 04

Structure

Opening, signposting, and whether the close actually closes the talk.

How it works

Three steps. Roughly three minutes.

No account, no install, no waiting room. Rhetor runs a transcription, an acoustic pass, and an evaluator-style synthesis in parallel.

Beyond the score

Pitch & pace over time. And better words to say next.

Scores tell you where you stand. The chart and the rewrites tell you what to change — at which second, in which sentence.

Pitch & pace

Pitch & pace, second by second.

8:24 · 4 pauses

A two-line chart over the length of your talk: pitch in Hz, words per minute, and grey bands where you paused. Hover any peak to see what you were saying.

"I think this is kind of an important point, you know, that we should sort of pay attention to."

Try instead

"This is the point. Pay attention to it."

Common questions

A few things worth knowing upfront.

Is my recording stored anywhere?+

No. Audio is processed in memory and discarded as soon as the report is generated. We keep the report itself behind an unguessable URL so you can come back to it; you can delete it at any time.

What languages does Rhetor support?+

English transcription is the most accurate today. We can analyze most major European languages, but the rubric prompts are tuned for English speech-coaching conventions for now.

How long can a recording be?+

Up to twenty minutes per upload, or 100 MB of audio — whichever you hit first. Most talks under fifteen minutes return a report in about three minutes.

What models is this built on?+

A single adaptive-thinking Claude Sonnet call handles synthesis; Deepgram does transcription; Parselmouth and librosa handle the acoustic pass. Two-pass prompting keeps cost under a tenth of a cent per minute.

Do I need an account?+

No. Upload, get a report, share the link. If you want history across devices, an optional account lets you keep them in one place — but it's never required to analyze a recording.
