A Survey of Automated Presentation Coaching: Systems, Methods, and Open Challenges

Automated coaching for oral presentations sits at the intersection of computer-assisted pronunciation training (CAPT), prosody modeling, and speech synthesis, yet no prior work has systematically surveyed and compared existing systems along these dimensions.This survey reviews and categorizes automated presentation coaching systems, spanning pronunciation tutors, fluency and prosody coaches, multimodal trainers, and conference Q&A practice tools.We introduce a five-dimensional task taxonomy-covering segmental pronunciation, lexical stress, suprasegmental prosody, pacing, and content faithfulness-and explicitly map surveyed systems onto it to reveal coverage gaps.We further review the core technical methods these systems employ: TTS-based exemplar generation and diagnostic methods for pronunciation, prosody, and fluency assessment.Key open challenges include the scarcity of annotated presentation corpora, achieving accent-fair feedback across diverse L1 backgrounds, and delivering low-latency diagnostics for real-time rehearsal.
