#2We built this using the latest speech recognition technology. The major use case is for people who want to talk better. For example, if you use ums, ers, or ahs in your speech. Or perhaps you talk in a monotone. The app can be installed on ios or android.

Interesting. Why does it only analyze the first 60 seconds of speech? Is that a technical limitation or a theoretical one?

#4This looks nice. I just downloaded and installed the android version, so I can't really comment on the ios version. Here are some of my initial thoughts:
1) the phone call analysis is a really nice hack. i've never seen this before and I like being able to just talk and get the results when the call is over.
2) when i did the speakoff, the results took a really long time to process. I'm not sure if this is a technical limitation or it's something related to network traffic. But this was why I liked the phone call analysis, because the processing happened in the background. if there is a way to speed up the processing of results that would be an improvement.
3) it would be probably be useful to have a history of results - where a person can keep their wins and losses in a speakoff.
4) of course, bringing this to multiple languages is an obvious extension (not just english).
5) i read somewhere that pg is quite tough on YC founders speaking too fast and not clearly enough on Demo Day. Perhaps someone using this might escape his wrath?
Anyway, good luck.

I'm guessing this isn't a technical limitation. It's probably related to getting the results back in a reasonable amount of time. When I did a speakoff on android, 60 seconds of speech took about 2 minutes to give me results. So I'm guessing the larger the payload, the greater the wait-time. But I may be wrong.

No technical limitation. It is that most people find it difficult to speak on a random topic for a minute.
