Enterprise AI & voice glossary

Plain definitions of the terms used for voice simulation, speech analysis, Zero Voice Retention, and AI coaching.

Real-time AI voice simulation
A spoken practice conversation with an AI persona that responds in real time. You rehearse high-stakes moments, such as objection handling and client calls, with personas that can speak in regional accents.
Vocal pace and delivery analysis
Measurement of how you speak, including speaking pace in words per minute (WPM), pause length, and filler words.
Zero Voice Retention
Dehurdle's privacy architecture. Voice audio is processed in real time and deleted as soon as the session ends, so no audio is kept or used for model training.
Objection handling
The skill of responding to client pushback on price, competition, timeline, or risk through active listening, a clear explanation of value, and a calm voice.
Lumi, the AI coach
Dehurdle's AI coach. Lumi reads your simulation transcripts, spots patterns in how you speak, and recommends what to practice next.
Behavioral science coaching framework
An approach to coaching based on behavioral science and active listening. The coach asks guiding questions to help you find your own answers, instead of telling you what to do.
Subscription pause
A billing option that lets you pause a paid Pro plan for 1, 2, or 3 months at no charge. You keep Free plan access while your plan is paused.
Minute top-ups
One-time packs of extra practice minutes (Mini, Power, and Ultra) that you buy when you need them. They don't change your recurring billing.
Automatic transcript redaction
An automatic filter that replaces email addresses, phone numbers, payment card numbers and some national ID numbers with [REDACTED] before a transcript is saved. It doesn't remove names or addresses.
Scorecard
The report you get after each simulation. It scores 5 competencies chosen from a library of 200, such as Needs Discovery, Value Pitching, and De-escalation, and quotes your transcript as evidence.
