VirtualSpeech

VirtualSpeech is an AI-powered soft skills training platform that combines virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and browser-based exercises to help professionals master workplace communication. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in London, the platform serves over 550,000 learners across 130+ countries. It offers 20+ structured courses and 55+ interactive practice exercises spanning public speaking, leadership, sales pitches, job interviews, difficult conversations, and business networking. The generative AI engine powers realistic avatar-based roleplays that respond dynamically during practice sessions. After each exercise, the AI feedback system analyzes speech patterns, filler word usage, speaking pace, volume levels, and eye contact to deliver actionable performance insights.

A personal AI career coach then guides users through structured reflection and improvement planning via two-way dialogue. VirtualSpeech supports VR headsets like Meta Quest 3 for fully immersive training, while browser-based exercises ensure accessibility without specialized hardware. Enterprise and education clients gain access to analytics dashboards, a no-code roleplay authoring tool, LMS integration via LTI or API, and single sign-on support. With a reported 25.9% average skill improvement and 93% of learners recommending the platform, VirtualSpeech stands as a market leader in AI-driven communication training. Digital certificates are issued upon course completion, supporting career advancement and professional development documentation.
