Abstract
In an approach to determining speech effectiveness, a computer receives speech input. The computer determines, based, at least in part, on the received speech input, whether the speech input is one of: a conversation with words spoken by two or more people during a predetermined time interval, and a presentation with words spoken by one person and not any other person during a predetermined time interval. The computer detects at least one problem with the speech input. If the speech input is the presentation, the computer weights, by a first factor, the detected at least one problem with the speech input based on the speech input being a presentation and not a conversation, and if the speech input is a conversation, the computer weights, by a second factor, the detected at least one problem with the speech input based on the speech input being a conversation and not a presentation.
