Why Speech Coaches & Public Speaking Trainers Choose SnapCount

Purpose-built features for public speaking filler words professionals

Instant Disfluency Rate Calculation

Automatically converts raw counts into a standardized Disfluency Rate (counts per minute) as the speaker talks, providing immediate, professional performance metrics.

Unified Scoring Dashboard

Stop merging messy spreadsheets. All coaches' counts for Vocalized Pauses, Verbal Tics, and Repetitive Phrases are aggregated instantly in one centralized, shareable view.

Focus on Feedback, Not Tallying

By digitizing the counting process, coaches can maintain vital eye contact with the speaker and focus on non-verbal cues and stage presence, trusting SnapCount to capture every count accurately.

How to Count Vocalized Pauses ("Um/Uh") with SnapCount

Get your public speaking filler words counting session running in three simple steps. No downloads, no sign-ups, no hardware needed.

Step 1

Create a Free Session

Click "Start Counting" and you'll have a live public speaking filler words counting session in under 30 seconds. No account required — just open your browser on any device and begin tracking vocalized pauses ("um/uh"), verbal tics ("so/like"), repetitive phrases immediately.

Step 2

Set Up Your Counters

Add as many counters as your public speaking filler words workflow requires. Label each one to match what you're tracking — whether that's vocalized pauses ("um/uh") or verbal tics ("so/like"). Share the session link with your team so everyone can contribute counts from their own device.

Step 3

Count Together in Real Time

Every tap syncs instantly across all connected devices. Speech Coaches & Public Speaking Trainers can count simultaneously from different locations while the totals update live. When you're done, export your vocalized pauses ("um/uh") data to CSV or Excel for reporting and analysis.

The Problem & The Solution

The Chaos of Manual Delivery Analysis

Trying to manually score a speaker's delivery habits with pen and paper is a recipe for data loss. When the speaker hits a rapid-fire series of 'you know's and 'basically's, your wrist cramps and your tally marks become an illegible blur. You glance up to make eye contact with the speaker, and when you look back down, you’ve lost your place—did you mark 7 or 8 verbal tics? This manual friction slows feedback cycles and compromises the integrity of the speaker's assessment.

Furthermore, if two coaches are scoring the same speaker, one might be tracking 'Like' and the other tracking 'So,' leading to fragmented data that requires hours of aggregation post-session. The time spent deciphering handwriting and merging multiple spreadsheets is time not spent providing valuable, actionable feedback to the presenter.

⚠️Stop relying on pen and paper marks and manual counting methods.

Instantly Aggregate Disfluency Data with SnapCount

SnapCount transforms delivery analysis from a solitary, error-prone task into a collaborative, real-time feedback system. Multiple coaches, whether sitting side-by-side or analyzing a virtual presentation remotely, can track different categories (e.g., one tracks 'Um/Uh' and another tracks 'Vocal Fry') on the same live dashboard. Every single click, regardless of who makes it, updates the master count instantly. This eliminates the need for post-session data merging and ensures perfect data integrity.

The moment the speaker finishes their pitch, the full, aggregated report on their disfluency rate and specific verbal tics is ready. This immediate feedback loop allows coaches to provide surgical, data-driven advice, turning vague observations into actionable metrics needed to drastically improve the speaker’s confidence and Audience Engagement Score.

Whether you're tracking vocalized pauses ("um/uh"), verbal tics ("so/like"), repetitive phrases, or managing counts across multiple locations, SnapCount replaces fragmented manual processes with a single collaborative tool. Instead of passing clipboards, shouting numbers, or reconciling spreadsheets at the end of the day, your entire team counts into one shared session that updates instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using SnapCount for public speaking filler words

How do we track different types of filler words simultaneously?

SnapCount allows you to create separate counters for 'Um/Uh,' 'So/Like,' 'You Know,' etc., all feeding into the same speaker session dashboard. This segmentation provides granular data without confusing the counters.

Can we analyze a speaker who is presenting remotely?

Yes. Coaches can use the SnapCount web app or mobile app from anywhere, syncing data instantly as they watch the live stream. The real-time update feature makes remote delivery analysis seamless and collaborative.

Does SnapCount calculate the total speech duration?

Absolutely. The platform includes a timer function that allows us to normalize the raw count data against the total speaking minutes. This automatically provides an accurate Disfluency Rate (counts per minute) for comparison.

What if two coaches accidentally click the counter for the same 'um' at the same time?

While we recommend assigning distinct counting categories (e.g., Coach A tracks Um, Coach B tracks Like), the system registers all unique inputs instantly. Since the goal is the most comprehensive assessment possible, the aggregated, timestamped data ensures maximum accuracy.
