Writing

This feature is in Beta release.

While the primary purpose of the speaking test is to automatically evaluate spoken language abilities, many of our users requested the capability to automatically evaluate writing skills as well. Our automated writing assessments support two IELTS-style question types: Describe Image and Essay Writing. Each response is automatically scored based on IELTS assessment criteria, providing feedback on coherence, vocabulary, grammatical accuracy, and task achievement.

  • Describe Image (Task 1 Equivalent - 150 words minimum): Involves analyzing and describing a given image, such as a graph, chart, map, or process. Users must summarize key trends, make comparisons, and provide an objective and structured description of the visual information.

  • Essay Writing (Task 2 Equivalent 250 words minimum): Requires users to respond to a given prompt with a well-structured argument. Users must present and support their opinion, discuss both sides of an issue, or propose solutions while maintaining clarity, coherence, and logical progression.

In the next few sections, we will explain how to set up these tasks and provide a peek in to what the test taker sees.
