Do not rehearse the whole talk again. Rehearse the three lines the Moments tab flags.
The Moments tab in Speech Analyzer lists your peaks and dips in the order they happened, with the words you said at each one. Here is how to turn that list into a short, useful rehearsal plan instead of another full run-through.
•6 min read
The usual way to practice after a bad talk is to run the whole thing again. It feels responsible. It is also slow, and much of it is wasted, because most of the talk was probably fine and you are spending the same effort on all of it.
The Moments tab in Speech Analyzer exists to stop that. It is a short list of where the recording went well and where it did not, and you can work from it in about 20 minutes.
The list is in time order on purpose
Open a finished analysis and click Moments. You get one list, not two. Peaks and dips sit together, sorted by when they happened in the talk, because that is how you remember a talk: opening, middle, ending.
Each entry has a timestamp, a score out of 100, a label, and the words you said at that point in quotation marks. A peak is described as your best stretch, where audio, language and attention held together. A dip has a note about what went wrong and, usually, a suggestion for what to change.
Read it top to bottom once before you play anything. You are looking for a pattern, not a verdict. Three dips in the first four minutes is a different problem from three dips scattered across the hour.
Click the line, then listen with the transcript in front of you
Every line in the list is a button. Click it and the recording plays from that point. Do that for each dip and listen to about 30 seconds around it.
The quoted words matter here. A score alone tells you nothing you can act on. The score next to the sentence you actually said tells you a lot. Sometimes the sentence is the problem: a long setup before the point, a list nobody asked for. Sometimes it is fine and the problem is how you said it, and you will hear that in the playback.
There is one more thing to check. The words in the list come from an automatic transcript, and transcripts get names and jargon wrong. If a dip is attached to a word you never said, the dip may be attached to a stretch where the audio was hard to read. Trust your own ears over the text.
Use the word view to see how sharp the drop was
Next to the list, the word response panel shows your transcript with each word shaded from low to high response. The shade is an average of three word-level readings: the response score, an emotional reading, and a memory reading.
Two things are worth doing with it. First, scan for whether a dip is one phrase or a whole paragraph gone gray. A single phrase is a wording fix. A gray paragraph is a structure fix, and you should cut or move it. Second, use the Jump to a word menu to go straight to a phrase you already suspected. If you always felt shaky on a certain sentence, check whether the tool agrees.
Build a three-line rehearsal plan
Do not try to fix everything. Pick at most three dips and write each one down as a single action.
Rewrite the sentence at that timestamp, or cut it.
Say the new version out loud five times, standing up.
Record the full talk again with the new version in it and run it through Analyze.
Then leave the peaks alone. If a stretch scored well, do not touch it in rehearsal. Changing what works is how a good talk gets worse.
If the tab says nothing was flagged, it will say that engagement stayed above the 55 out of 100 threshold from start to finish. Do not celebrate yet. Flat and steady can also mean flat. Play the talk once at the spots where you know you were coasting.
Ask the Coach tab the question the list raises
When a dip does not make sense, open the Coach tab. It is a chat with the full analysis in front of it, and it offers starter questions like why engagement dropped, what your strongest moments were, and how to fix your pacing. Ask about a specific timestamp instead: "Why did the section at 12:40 lose the room?" A specific question is easier to check against the recording than a general one.
The Transcript tab is worth a quick look too. It shows your word count and your pace in words per minute, and it exports as a text file. If a dip sits inside a fast stretch, that may be the whole explanation.
Moments can also be exported from the same tab, which helps if you want to send the list to a coach.
What to do with the result
The list is an estimate of how a viewer's response moved, not a record of how your actual audience felt. Treat it as a way to decide where to spend your next 20 minutes.
What does the Moments tab show in Speech Analyzer?
One list of moments from your talk, ordered by when they happened. Peaks and dips sit together, and each entry shows a timestamp, a score out of 100, a label, the words you said at that point, and a short note. Dips can also carry a suggestion for what to change.
What if the Moments tab says nothing was flagged?
It means engagement stayed above the 55 out of 100 threshold from start to finish. That is a fine result, but it is still an estimate, so play the talk back once and check that the flat stretches are not just steady and dull.
Can I play the exact spot a moment refers to?
Yes. Click any line in the list and the recording jumps to that point. The word response panel has a Jump to a word menu that does the same for a single phrase.
The Coach tab answers questions about one analyzed talk, using that talk's scores, flagged moments, words, and transcript. Here is what it can see, what it cannot, and how to ask questions that get useful answers.
Speech Analyzer works from a real recording, and the upload step has a few rules that are easy to trip over. Here is what to upload, what happens after you do, and why a rehearsal beats a polished take.
Every Speech Analyzer report is built on a named research model trained on real fMRI data, plus two separate transcription engines. Here is what TRIBE v2, Parakeet, and Whisper actually do, and why knowing that changes how much weight to put on the number.
