Microsoft’s AI Presenter Coach for PowerPoint

In short, Microsoft’s AI Presenter Coach, will help you practice presentations.

The AI Presenter Coach provides users with feedback on their pace, use of monotone pitch, use of filler words, poor grammar, lack of originality, use of sensitive phrases, and more while they rehearse their presentations. This was available on the web version for a while. But now it is available for both Desktop and mobile app. Very soon the feature will be available for Mac users as well. Once your session is completed, you get this neat Rehearsal Report with score — like the one shown below, that can help you improve on your presenting skills,

How does it work?

Presenter Coach listens to you while you practice a presentation out loud — it analyzes what you’re saying, and can warn you if you’re talking too fast or slow, using filler words like “um” or “ahh,” or just reading the words off the slide.

With the new version, there are also some new ways that the feature can try to make your presentation better: it can look at your body language (how close you are to the camera, if you’re making eye contact or putting things in front of your face), and warn you if you’re repeating words or saying them wrong. That’s cool right!

At the same time, you should be aware that the processing for the feature is done with the power of Microsoft’s cloud servers, However, there is no audio or video data saved anywhere. It is worth keeping in mind that this means you won’t be able to use the feature without an internet connection.

Interested… This short video shall explain how to use the web version of AI presenter coach.

Happy rehearsing!
