Your New Grading Workflow

From Part 2 (Long Turn) student recording to detailed feedback in minutes, not hours

Before: Manual Grading

The traditional approach that consumes your evenings and weekends:

  • Listen to each recording — 15+ minutes per 5-minute recording to assess properly
  • Take detailed notes — Tracking vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation issues
  • Write feedback — Composing personalized comments for each student

Total: 20-30 minutes per student

After: AI-Assisted Grading

Let our system handle the time-consuming parts:

  • Batch upload recordings — Upload your entire class at once
  • AI processes automatically — Transcription, analysis, and scoring in under 3 minutes each
  • Review and personalize — Add your comments to the pre-generated reports

Total: 5-10 minutes per student

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the AI assessment compared to a human examiner?
Our AI assessment is designed to closely align with official IELTS band descriptors and provides consistent scoring across all students. While it's an excellent tool for practice and progress tracking, we recommend using it alongside your professional judgment. The AI handles the time-consuming transcription and initial analysis, freeing you to focus on personalized feedback and teaching.
Can I modify the feedback before sharing with students?
Yes! You can download assessments as editable DOCX files that include a dedicated 'Teacher Notes' section. Add your own observations, personalize the feedback, or adjust anything before sharing with students and parents.
How do I organize assessments for different classes?
The platform includes student and class management features. You can create classes organized by level and school year, enroll students, set target band scores, and track individual progress over time. Each student's assessment history is preserved for progress tracking.
What file formats can students submit?
Students can submit video files (MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM) or audio files (M4A, MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC). Maximum file size is 100 MB per recording, and we recommend 2-5 minute recordings for best results. The system works with smartphone recordings, voice memos, webcam videos, or dedicated recording equipment.
How long does processing take?
Most recordings are processed in under 3 minutes. If you batch upload an entire class overnight, all results will be ready by morning. You'll see real-time status updates for each recording in your dashboard.
Is there volume pricing for schools or language centers?
Yes, we offer institutional pricing for schools, language centers, and tutoring companies. Contact us to discuss volume discounts, dedicated support, and custom arrangements for your organization.
Can students access their results directly?
Currently, the platform is designed for teachers to manage and share results. You download the PDF or DOCX reports and share them with students through your preferred method (email, LMS, etc.). Direct student access is on our roadmap for future development.
What if I disagree with an AI-generated score?
The AI provides a starting point based on IELTS criteria. You can always override scores in the editable DOCX report before sharing with students. The AI analysis gives you detailed evidence (transcripts, specific issues found) to help you make final scoring decisions quickly.
Which part of the IELTS Speaking test does this tool assess?
This tool is currently optimized for IELTS Speaking Part 2 (the Long Turn), where candidates speak for 1-2 minutes on a given topic. Part 2 is ideal for self-practice because it involves extended monologue speaking. Support for Parts 1 and 3 may be added in future updates.
