AI IELTS Speaking test

    An AI examiner that conducts the whole IELTS Speaking test

    A real-time voice examiner, not a chatbot. It greets you, asks follow-up questions, keeps strict timing across all three parts, and scores your performance.

    • Real-time voice
    • Adapts to your answers
    • Official test format

    In short

    An AI IELTS Speaking test uses a voice AI to play the role of the examiner. SpeakMetry's examiner speaks with you in real time, asks unscripted follow-up questions based on what you say, moves between the three parts on official timing, and then rates you against the four IELTS Speaking criteria.

    What makes the AI examiner realistic

    Real-time conversation

    You speak and it responds live, with natural turn-taking. There is no typing and no fixed script to read from.

    Adaptive follow-ups

    It listens to your answer and probes further, exactly as a real examiner does, so you can't rehearse a canned monologue.

    Authoritative timing

    It manages the one-minute Part 2 preparation, the long turn, and the transitions between parts to official IELTS timing.

    Criterion-based scoring

    Afterwards it scores Fluency & Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range & Accuracy, and Pronunciation, anchored to the official band descriptors.

    Frequently asked questions

    How does an AI IELTS Speaking examiner work?
    It combines a real-time voice model that talks with you and a scoring pass that grades your transcript against the official band descriptors. The examiner asks questions, reacts to your answers with follow-ups, and controls the timing of each part.
    Is the AI examiner as good as a real one?
    No AI perfectly replicates a human examiner, but it is consistent, available on demand, and scores in line with the official criteria, which makes it useful for practice between now and test day.
    Does it understand different accents?
    Yes. It's designed to handle a wide range of accents, the same way a human examiner is trained to. Clear pronunciation still matters because it's one of the four scored criteria.
    Can I retake the AI test?
    Yes. Each session uses one exam credit, credits never expire, and the questions vary every time.
