Webex listen and count filler words to help speaker improve on delivery.

In Toastmasters, we have the Ah Counter. The purpose of the Ah-Counter is to note any overused words or filler sounds used as a crutch during the meeting. Words may be inappropriate interjections, such as and, well, but, so and you know. Sounds may be ah, um or er.


This is a useful tool for the speaker in which they can work to improve delivery without filler words. Initial thought is maybe using the word cloud to capture the filler words and display at the end of a session, similar to how it does for most used words. Doesn't have to call out who said them, just provide most used filler words for betterment by all speakers.
