Pressed on your own numbers, you gave ground: the shape was right, the specifics never arrived.

Pace

176wpm

How fast you spoke. 110–160 words a minute is the stretch an interviewer hears as composed: slower and you sound unsure of the answer, faster and the interviewer stops following it.

Avg pause

98ms

The average gap between your words. Short gaps read as fluent, long ones read as hesitation — a pause is only a problem when it lands mid-sentence.

Fillers

5total

Every um, uh and like, counted across the whole interview. A handful is normal speech; a pile of them is what people mean when they say someone sounded nervous.

Pitch variation

21.6Hz

How much your voice moves while you talk. The bigger the number, the less flat you sound.

Energy

0.038rms

How loudly you spoke, straight off the waveform. It's a relative level, not decibels — compare it against your own other runs.

Mean pitch

121Hz

The average pitch of your voice. It says nothing about how you did — it's the baseline the variation is measured against.

Steadiness

1.90% jitter

Cycle-to-cycle wobble in pitch, measured off the waveform. Steady speaking voices sit around 1% or below; higher reads as a less steady voice — not a nervous one. It's a rough guide, so the useful comparison is against your own other runs.

Voice clarity

16.8dB

Harmonics-to-noise ratio: how much of the sound is clean tone versus breath and rasp. Higher is clearer, and roughly 20 dB and up is a clear speaking voice. A poor microphone drags it down too, so read it beside the recording.

Uptalk

9/34rose

Statements that ended on a rising pitch, the way a question does. A few is ordinary speech; a lot of them makes claims sound like they are asking for agreement. Questions you actually asked are not counted.

Articulation

4.61syll/s

Syllables a second across the time you were actually voicing, counted off the intensity contour rather than the words. Pauses are excluded, so this is the speed of the speech itself, against 3.42 once the pauses are counted back in.

Phonation

74%

The share of the recording you were making sound in. The rest is breath and silence — some of it is thinking, some of it is the room.

Trailing off

4/18faded

Statements whose last third of a second dropped at least 6 dB below the rest of the sentence. A few is ordinary; a lot means the end of your point is the part the interviewer has to strain for.

Transcriber confidence

-0.31log prob

How sure the transcriber was of the words it wrote down, averaged over the recording. It is always negative and closer to zero is clearer — a low number is usually a mumbled or distant mic, not a wrong answer.

Looked at camera

71%

How much of your speaking time your eyes and head were pointed at the lens. Measured on your own device — no video was uploaded to work it out. An interviewer on a video call reads this as attention, but it is a camera, not a person: notes off to the side are a perfectly good reason to be looking away.

Smiled

13%

Share of the time a smile was visible on camera. There is no right number here and it moves no score — but a flat zero across a whole interview is worth knowing about.

Head movement

8.6°/s

How fast your head turned while you talked, in degrees a second. Very low reads as stiff and very high reads as restless, with a wide ordinary middle — compare it against your own other runs rather than against anyone else's.

Slouched

15%

How much of the time your head sat lower over your shoulders than it did in the calibration pose. It is measured against your own neutral, so it says nothing about posture in general.

Hands near face

5%

Share of the frames a hand was within a shoulder-width of your face. On a video call it covers the mouth and the audio with it; the number moves no score.

Shoulder tilt

2.8°

Average angle of the shoulder line off horizontal. A steady few degrees is a chair or a camera on a slant, not a verdict.

Wrist motion

0.14sw/s

How far your wrists travelled a second, in shoulder-widths, so the number holds whether you sat close to the lens or far from it. Compare it against your own other runs.
