IELTS Speaking test with an AI examiner
Practise speaking out loud, not typing. The examiner asks the questions, gives you a Part 2 cue card with one minute to prepare, and follows up on your ideas in Part 3. Then you get an estimated band with corrections from your own answers.
Start your Speaking test
- • About 12–14 minutes, three parts, like the real test
- • The examiner speaks to you; answer out loud and press Finish answer when you're done
- • Use a quiet room and headphones with a microphone if you can
- • Works best in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on a computer or Android phone
Microphone check
Press the button and say “I'm ready to start my test.”
Speech is turned into text by your browser's speech service (for example Google in Chrome). We store only the text, never a recording.
Your first AI check is free. You're only charged a check when a finished test is marked.

Frequently asked questions
How does the AI Speaking test work?
The examiner asks you questions out loud and your browser turns your spoken answers into text. Parts 1 and 2 follow the real test format, and in Part 3 the AI examiner asks follow-up questions about what you actually said, just like a real examiner.
Is my band score accurate?
It is an estimate for Fluency and Coherence, Lexical Resource and Grammatical Range and Accuracy, based on a transcript of your answers. Pronunciation can't be judged from text, so it isn't scored. Use it to track progress, not as an official result.
Is it free?
Your first marked test is free. After that, each marked test uses one check from a pack or your Pro plan. You're never charged for a test you don't finish.
Do you record my voice?
No. Your browser converts speech to text and we store only the text of your answers.
