Know what the readout can—and cannot—tell you.

TalkMaestro readout metrics

TalkMaestro returns eleven schema fields representing ten distinct metric concepts. Pace and filler values begin with transcript-based measurements; the remaining scores are bounded coaching judgments. Every signal is for a better next rehearsal, not proof of real-world performance.

score

Overall speaking score

A summary coaching judgment for the recorded answer. It compresses several delivery and scenario-fit signals into one readout value so the speaker can choose the next rehearsal priority.

Filler-word count

The number of detected filler-pattern matches in the transcript used for the readout.

Speaking pace in words per minute

Transcript word count divided by the supplied recording duration in minutes, rounded to a whole-number pace signal.

Clarity score

A coaching estimate of how easy the recorded answer is to follow, based on the transcript and the analysis provider's response.

rhythm

Speaking rhythm score

A coaching signal for pace consistency and sentence flow in the recorded take.

Open definition →
energy

Speaking energy score

A bounded coaching judgment about momentum and delivery signal in the recorded answer; it is not a measurement of the speaker's emotion or personality.

Open definition →
structure

Spoken structure score

A coaching judgment of whether the answer presents an understandable opening, ordered support, interpretation and close.

objectionHandling

Objection-handling score

A scenario-aware coaching judgment of whether the answer recognizes material concerns, tradeoffs or risks and responds to them directly.

scriptAdherence + scriptFit

Script fit and adherence score
