Your speaking, measured
One recording about an ordinary day. Here is what actually happens when you speak, and the two targets we set from it.
Your two personal targets
syllables a minute, pauses included
“um”s and “uh”s per 100 words
Where you’re starting from
Your overall pace: how many syllables you say in a minute, pauses included.
Talking on your own is slower than talking with someone. Your target is a real step towards the green range.
Overall pace
How much you say in an average minute, pauses counted.
Talking pace
How fast you go once pauses are taken out.
2 m 49 s, split by what you were doing
How many words you said
Not counting “um”s, repeated words or restarts. You spoke for nearly three minutes without running out of things to say.
2.5 long pauses a minute
Pausing between ideas is natural. Pausing in the middle of one is what interrupts you.
1.40 syllables per word
Native speakers average about 1.4. Your words are already as rich as theirs.

Words you used well
Sentences that came out whole and clear:
“I search for my clothes and go to work.”
“We eat our lunch in a dining room at work.”
You spoke for nearly three minutes without running out of things to say. Your words are as long as a native speaker’s, your sentences come out whole, and you reach for real vocabulary: colleague, comfortable, daily routine. The ideas and the words are already there.
Four of your seven long pauses land in the middle of an idea, and 47 times you fill the gap out loud. Both come from the same place: the next few words aren’t ready yet, so you buy time. Practising whole phrases instead of single words means the next words arrive together, and there is nothing left to fill.
