Verba

Verba is a platform designed to help people speak confidently through an NLP-powered mobile app, custom curriculum through coaches and schools, bootcamps, competitions, and much more! The fear of public speaking, glossophobia, affects over 75% of the population. Applicable in every interaction, the skill of being able to speak confidently is important for all demographics. At Verba, we’re here to help you master that skill and reach your goals, whether that be getting better at social interaction or preparing to speak in front of audiences of thousands. With a team of experienced speakers in the fields of persuasive speaking (debate) and informational speaking (motivational), we give you daily tips on how to maximize your growth on this learning journey. To help you get feedback on your speaking, we have exercises on the app that you can use to track your confidence, speed, and content. We’re in the early stages of development on this front, so we’re continuously working on new drills to make your experience more immersive. Other features include a community you can schedule sessions to practice with. Community building is key to learning, and what better way to practice your public speaking than through social interaction? We also have some topics that people post on the app that you can use to start a conversation! In addition to our public speaking-oriented features, at Verba, we take a unique approach and help you learn different styles of speaking for different purposes. Persuasive speaking is important for job interviews and situations in which you need to sell yourself, an idea, a product, or anything else of the sort. Through an immersive debate curriculum, daily news to help you if you participate in competitive debate, and refutation drills, we have the infrastructure to support you if you want to explore the debate route! We are committed to leading the battle against glossophobia, and welcome any feedback to help us progress. Any feedback is much appreciated, and we hope you enjoy your experience our fellow Verbalites!
