Abstract

This paper introduces a state-of-the-art online application called "SMART SPEAKER" to improve English speaking abilities, especially in public speaking. The system uses Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Natural Language Processing Techniques to evaluate the user's speech based on various aspects such as Content analysis, Flow Completeness analysis, Grammar analysis, and Facial Expressions analysis. The tool is designed to be user-friendly and simple, providing an easy and efficient solution for those looking to improve their English-speaking skills, gain confidence, and deliver well-articulated speeches. This system meets the growing demand for a practical and effective tool that can support English speakers around the world. Through "SMART SPEAKER", users can practice and improve their public speaking skills.

Keywords

Text analysis, sentiment analysis, facial expression analysis, voice-to-text, content analysis, and speech analysis
