SpeakPulse was an AI-enabled interview-preparation app that began as a manual scoring method and served job seekers alongside the coaches working with them. Terris recorded himself answering mock interview questions, scored them with an algorithm in a spreadsheet, and converted that spreadsheet into the software. The app provided speech and communication coaches with tools to help their clients communicate more effectively in the workforce.
The score measured the number of filler words, disfluencies, or repetitions identified during a sample recording, and learners always kept a record of their audio recordings, transcripts, and results for each assessment. Coaches accessed a full dashboard showing completed assessments, results, scores by category, recordings, and transcripts. SpeakPulse was a customizable speech app for individuals and training groups that simulated real-life interactions.
