Questions from Graduate Students
How can ServoSpeak help me prepare for my thesis defense?
ServoSpeak lets you practice your entire thesis presentation multiple times before your defense. Our AI tracks your speaking pace, filler words, and clarity. You can practice explaining complex research concepts and get feedback on your delivery. Many students practice their 20-minute defense talk daily in the weeks leading up to their defense.
Is ServoSpeak good for seminar presentations?
Yes! Whether you're presenting at a lab meeting, journal club, or departmental seminar, ServoSpeak helps you practice delivering academic content clearly. You can paste your slides' talking points and practice until you feel confident about your timing and delivery.
Can I practice answering tough questions?
Absolutely. You can use our custom prompt feature to practice answering specific questions you anticipate from your committee. This is especially helpful for preparing for the Q&A portion of your thesis defense.
How much time should I spend practicing?
We recommend 10-15 minutes of focused practice daily, especially in the weeks before a major presentation. Our 90-day curriculum is designed for sustainable daily practice, but you can adjust based on your upcoming deadlines.
