• receiving audio data from a speech rehearsal session over a network;
• receiving a transcript for the audio data, the transcript including a plurality of words spoken during the speech rehearsal session;
• detecting utterance of a filler phrase or sound during the speech rehearsal session using at least in part a machine learning model trained for identifying filler phrases and sounds in a text;
• upon detecting the utterance of the filler phrase or sound, enabling real time display of a notification on a display device;
• wherein detecting the utterance of the filler phrase or sound is done based on at least one of the transcript of the audio data or the audio data.

• calculating a real time speaking rate for the speech rehearsal session;
• determining if the speaking rate is within a threshold range;
• detecting utterance of a filler phrase or sound during the speech rehearsal session using at least in part a machine learning model trained for identifying filler phrases and sounds in a text;
• and
