Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is Yoodli’s filler word detection?
Yoodli achieves 92-95% accuracy on standard filler words (um, uh, like, so, you know). Accuracy drops slightly with heavy accents or poor audio quality. The system learns your speech patterns over time, improving detection of your specific filler habits. Always review the transcript to verify edge cases.
Can I use Yoodli during actual job interviews?
Real-time mode is designed for practice only. Using AI coaching during actual interviews may violate company policies and ethical standards. However, post-session analysis is valuable for reviewing recorded mock interviews. Focus on internalizing habits during practice so you don’t need real-time assistance in actual interviews.
What’s the difference between Yoodli and Poised AI?
Yoodli focuses on structured practice sessions with detailed post-analysis, ideal for dedicated improvement time. Poised AI runs passively during all meetings (Zoom, Google Meet) providing real-time nudges. Use Yoodli for focused practice and Poised for everyday meeting improvement. Both use similar underlying technology but different UX approaches.
How long does it take to see improvement?
Most users see 30-40% reduction in filler words after 5-7 practice sessions (2-3 weeks at 3x/week). Confidence and pacing improvements take 4-6 weeks of consistent practice. Key is deliberate practice: review your metrics, identify specific habits to break, and practice consciously. Passive use without review yields minimal improvement.
Does Yoodli API support languages other than English?
Currently supports English, Spanish, French, German, and Mandarin with full feature parity. Japanese, Portuguese, and Hindi are in beta (transcription works, but filler detection is less accurate). For English speakers, the system handles most accents well (UK, Australian, Indian, etc.) though American accent training data is most robust.
