metrics
| metric | what it measures |
|---|---|
| filler words | counts of “um”, “uh”, “like”, “basically”, etc. - per type, per speaker, per minute. language-specific defaults with custom overrides. |
| talk ratio | how much of the conversation each speaker occupies |
| speaking pace | words per minute per speaker |
| longest monologue | longest uninterrupted stretch (in words) |
| questions asked | count of questions per speaker |
| clarity | average words per turn - shorter turns tend to read as clearer |
how to use it
training mode is best for coaching yourself on delivery, not grading a meeting overall.- switch to training (
⌘3) during a live session or on a saved meeting - focus on one metric at a time (fillers first, then talk ratio, etc.)
- compare similar meeting types (demo vs discovery vs interview) - not everything against one target
- use the info buttons next to metrics for quick guidance and rough ranges
- track trends across sessions instead of overreacting to one meeting
how to read the metrics
- fillers - lower is usually better. spikes are normal during brainstorming or complex explanations.
- talk ratio - depends on your role. a presenter should be high. an interviewer should be low.
- pace - fast is not always better. clarity usually drops when pace gets too high.
- longest monologue - useful for spotting when you’re not leaving room for questions.
- questions asked - directional only. quality matters more than raw count.
- clarity - lower average words/turn usually feels easier to follow. lower = clearer = better.
custom filler words
each language has sensible defaults. to override the list for a language, go to settings → training → filler words.real-time nudges
miniti can send a local notification when you’ve been monologuing or your filler rate spikes - but only when the app is in the background, so it doesn’t compete with what you can already see in the meeting view. thresholds are fixed: long monologue (~180 words over 60s), filler spike (>8/min over 60s), 3-minute cooldown per nudge. nudges are fully local - no llm, no network. enable them in settings → notifications. see real-time nudges for the full picture.notes
- metrics are computed from final transcript segments, not interim
- training applies in both live and saved meeting views
- if a meeting has no transcript content, training sections may be empty
deep dives
- filler words - per-language lists, customization, how to reduce
- delivery metrics - talk ratio, pace, monologue, clarity ranges by meeting type
- tracking progress - weekly coaching cycle, comparing meetings, signals of real improvement
