• Filler words - Let's you know what filler words you have been using
• Pace - How fast you were talking
• Inclusiveness - Picks up on if you were using any non-inclusive language
• Intonation - Do you vary your pitch when talking to keep people engaged?
• Monologue - Do you pause to allow others to speak?
