Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), the app works in virtual reality (VR) mode to immerse speakers in the experience of speaking in front of a large crowd. The AI technology will continuously monitor the person's tone of voice, speech quality, pronunciation and clarity to help them see where improvements need to be made before giving a real life speech.

The 'Phonal' app will also provide real-time suggestions to the user as they practice to help them make changes on the fly. The service could help users to completely overcome their fear of public speaking in a way that suits their busy schedule.
