Timestamps in any format (00:00 · [0:00] · 0:00:00) are picked up automatically. Scripts without timestamps work fine. The more complete the text, the more specific the coaching. For co-presented or interview-format talks, label speakers in your transcript (Speaker A / Speaker B, or actual names) for best results — tools like Adobe Podcast, Descript, and Otter.ai can do this automatically.

Delivered Talk
Already given. RhetorX scores everything: delivery, pacing, filler words, structure, and all eight rubric categories.
Proposed / Script
Not yet given. RhetorX evaluates structure, message clarity, and audience fit before you step up to speak. Delivery categories are skipped since the talk hasn't happened yet.
Beginner
New to speaking. Prioritize the most important fixes, keep feedback encouraging.
Developing
Some experience. Balance encouragement with honest, specific coaching.
Seasoned
Years of regular speaking. High-level nuance expected; be direct and exacting.
Inspire / Motivate
Move the room emotionally. Energy, story, and the close matter most.
Inform / Educate
Teach something retrievable. Clarity and structure matter most.
Persuade / Sell
Move someone to act. Objection-handling and call-to-action matter most.
Mixed
A blend — common in network-marketing and leadership talks.
Sermon / Spiritual context
Add this layer for any talk that needs to honor a faith framework — scripture integration, pastoral voice, faith-community norms.
optional overlay
Analytical
Data-driven, detail-oriented, skeptical. Need evidence and logical structure. (Accountants, engineers, academics)
Decisive
Results-driven, direct, bottom-line focused. Low patience for buildup. (CEOs, entrepreneurs)
