A Live Speaking Coach for Presentations, Webinars, and All-Hands Talks
When you're presenting slides to 50 people on an all-hands or webinar, you can't see the room's body language, so you naturally speed up and fill every slide transition with 'um', 'so basically', and 'does that make sense?'. UmmLike sits quietly beside your speaker notes and keeps your cadence grounded.

What to Say Instead on a Live Call: Real-Time Speaking Coach for Presentations, Webinars & All-Hands Talks
| Common Habit on a Call | Clearer Rewrite | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| "Um, so on this next slide, basically what you can kind of see here is our Q3 growth..." | Slide-transition cue: Pause 1 second when advancing the slide, then lead with the headline: 'Q3 growth accelerated to 34%.' | Cuts the filler wind-up and leads directly with the point. |
| "Um, I just wanted to quickly check if maybe we should push the launch, does that make sense?" | "I recommend moving the launch to Tuesday so QA can finish. What risks do you see?" | Replaces three weak qualifiers ('just wanted to', 'maybe', 'does that make sense?') with a clear recommendation and open question. |
| "Yeah, so basically there are like four different things we looked at this week and..." (75s monologue at 188 WPM) | "Here is the headline: checkout latency dropped 28% this week. Let me pause there for questions." (145 WPM) | Drops speaking speed into the 130 to 160 WPM range and stops before the 60-second attention cliff. |
