At aihorizon R&D, we’re dedicated to advancing AI technology responsibly. Today, we’re happy to introduce a new feature in our Responsible AI Learning Space: OratAI. Designed with education, personal development, and professional communication in mind, OratAI provides insightful, AI-powered feedback to enhance your oral presentations. Whether you’re a student giving a lecture, a professional preparing for a pitch, or anyone seeking to refine their presentation skills, OratAI offers valuable, actionable insights to help you become a more confident and effective speaker.

 

What is OratAI?

OratAI is an innovative tool that harnesses the power of AI to analyze and provide feedback on your oral presentations. By combining the latest advancements in speech recognition with large language models (LLMs), OratAI delivers a comprehensive analysis of both your delivery and content.

Using Azure Speech APIs, OratAI transcribes your spoken words while analyzing your pronunciation, tone, pacing, fluency, and pauses. It doesn’t just transcribe your speech—it evaluates how effectively you communicate, offering specific feedback on clarity, word usage, and delivery style.

OratAI then synthesizes this speech data with an analysis of your content. It checks whether your message is logically organized, clear, and coherent, while offering suggestions to improve content structure and engagement.

 

Compliant with the EU AI Act

In compliance with the EU AI Act, OratAI does not analyze or extract emotional data. The tool focuses purely on objective aspects of speech delivery and content quality, ensuring that feedback remains constructive and free of emotional profiling. This makes OratAI suitable for use in educational settings and other contexts where ethical AI usage is critical.

How Does OratAI Work?

​

OratAI operates through a multi-step process:

​

1. Speech Recognition and Analysis: Record your presentation, and OratAI uses Azure Speech APIs to transcribe the audio and assess various aspects of your delivery, including pronunciation, fluency, pacing, and pauses.

2. Content Evaluation: After transcribing the speech, OratAI uses an advanced LLM to analyze the content. It evaluates the logical flow, coherence, and clarity of your message, ensuring your argument is well-structured and your key points are effectively communicated.

3. Comprehensive Feedback: Based on both the speech analysis and content evaluation, OratAI generates a detailed feedback report. This report highlights areas for improvement in delivery and content, offering actionable recommendations—such as improving pronunciation, adjusting pacing, restructuring sections for clarity, or reducing filler words.

4. Actionable Insights: OratAI provides not only feedback but practical advice. Whether it’s tips for more effective pacing, clearer pronunciation, or a more engaging content structure, the tool equips you with the knowledge to refine your presentation skills.

A First Step in Iterative Design

OratAI is currently in its initial design phase and will undergo testing with real users. As part of its iterative development, we will refine the tool based on user feedback to ensure it meets the needs of a diverse range of users. Like all aihorizon R&D tools, OratAI will continue to evolve over time, incorporating more advanced features and refining its ability to provide the most accurate and helpful feedback possible.
