The Spoken Language Skills Lite (English - American) assessment is a fast way to ensure that a candidate can understand and speak English. The test evaluates a person's ability to carry on a verbal conversation with a native American English speaker. Test takers utilize both their web browser and a phone connection to speak, read, and listen in English.
this 'Lite' version of our spoken language skills assessments is intended to be much shorter than the normal versions. However, only two competencies are measured.
The assessment leverages multiple modern technologies for voice recognition, speech-to-text, natural language processing, auto-translation, and machine learning-based essay scoring and presentation analysis to evaluate the ability of a person to carry on a natural conversation in a specific language.
This assessment goes farther than virtually any other voice test by measuring the way other humans will perceive the speaking style of the test taker. Referred to a either Positive or Negative Vibes, these attributes speak volumes about how effective this test taker will be at communicating.

The overall score is a weighted average of each of the factors.
