Removing filler words from normal speech gives you clearer speech, not a sermon. Orators use far more tricks than avoiding filler. They speak loudly with exaggerated tones.  They <i>exude</i> emotion. Oration is a performance, and for most people it does not come naturally.<p>It&#x27;s easy to see the difference with examples. A good example of clear speech is Sam Harris. Even when debating contentious topics, he speaks in calm paragraphs.[1] I could imagine Harris behaving the same in a one-on-one conversation. Contrast that to his opponent, William Lane Craig.[2] If Craig spoke that way in my living room, he would appear insane.<p>Avoiding filler is necessary for oration, but it&#x27;s not remotely sufficient. I think this app will improve people&#x27;s ability to communicate, not bloviate.<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yqaHXKLRKzg&amp;t=3556" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yqaHXKLRKzg&amp;t=3556</a><p>2. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yqaHXKLRKzg&amp;t=4226" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yqaHXKLRKzg&amp;t=4226</a>
