FAQ
What is speech evaluation software?
Speech evaluation software helps instructors and programs assess recorded public speaking performances against rubrics, often with AI-assisted drafts that humans review before grades are final. SpeechGradebook is built for that instructor-reviewed workflow.
Is SpeechGradebook the same as generic AI speech coaching?
No. SpeechGradebook Evaluation maps feedback to course rubrics and keeps instructors in control of the official grade. Practice is structured rehearsal with progress tracking, not open-ended chatbot coaching alone.
