Online lectures with Pitch Avatar

 

The Pitch Avatar team explores how an AI-powered assistant can help professors, teachers, and anyone tasked with lecturing save time and energy.

For most educators and lecturers, speaking in front of an audience – whether in a hall or in front of an online broadcast camera – is one of the most daunting tasks, and this stems from two main reasons.

The first reason is universal. Most people, to varying degrees, experience a fear of public speaking. While this typically results in only mild anxiety or nervousness, it remains an uncomfortable experience. It’s not just about having to push through this feeling time and again – it also directly impacts the quality of the speech or recording, leading to mistakes or hesitations. These in turn reinforce the fear of speaking, creating a cycle that’s hard to break.

The second reason is professional. Frequent presentations, even for those who do not suffer from glossophobia, can lead to burnout, especially when it involves repeating material that is similar in meaning and content. In this regard, recording presentations offers a potential solution. However, there are two significant drawbacks. Firstly, creating a “perfect” recording – without errors, and with the right emotions and intonations – is a time-consuming process. Secondly, life and science are constantly evolving, meaning recorded material can quickly become outdated. The idea of re-recording a well-prepared lecture just to update one or two irrelevant points is understandably frustrating.

The optimal solution to all of the problems mentioned above is our AI assistant, Pitch Avatar. With its help, you can create and “animate” a digital version of yourself based on a photo, allowing it to voice any text with the desired intonation and emotional settings. If needed, you can also use your own voice, such as when the lecture is a voice-over for a video sequence or slideshow.

In addition, Pitch Avatar offers a variety of useful features that can greatly benefit lecturers. For example, it can translate and voice texts in multiple languages, customize responses to questions through an AI-powered chatbot, analyze audience reactions, and much more.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that the role of professors, teachers, and lecturers will be limited to just preparing and providing texts for their AI-based avatars. Instead, the use of Pitch Avatar will help save valuable time for research, allowing lecturers to focus on engaging with their audience rather than simply reading material. This, in turn, is sure to improve the overall effectiveness of the class.

Give it a try and experience the benefits for yourself!
