Orator

AI-powered speaking coach that helps students practice public speaking and articulation through daily voice prompts — and doubles as a spoken-language learning tool.

What it does

• Every day, get a short-answer or public-speaking topic to respond to out loud.
• Your answer is transcribed and analyzed for both content (structure, clarity, did you answer the question) and delivery (filler words, pace, pauses).
• Get concrete, specific pointers on how to communicate better — not just a score.
• Practice speaking in a language you're learning the same way: daily spoken prompts, AI feedback, vocabulary support — learning by speaking, not just studying.
• Strong speakers can get verified and paid to coach others through the platform.

Why

Public speaking and articulation — especially in a second language — are rarely taught directly, even when the underlying ideas are strong. Orator turns speaking into a daily, trainable skill with real feedback instead of guesswork.
