    How the tool builds the answer

    It joins your four facts in the order interviewers expect: now, before, next, and why here. It adds one line at the start and one at the end so it sounds spoken, not read. Nothing is sent anywhere; the page works in your browser.

    1. Speaking time is your word count divided by 140 words a minute, a normal pace for a calm interview answer. Aim for 45 to 75 seconds, so about 105 to 175 words.
    2. The speech check looks for sentences over 22 words, a missing "I", filler words that recruiters hear all day ("passionate", "results-driven", "team player"), and a result in the past part. It is a checklist, not a score.
    3. Read the answer out loud three times. Then close the tab and say it without looking. If a line feels stiff, change the input, not your delivery.
