Coach: Speech Analyzer

Speech Analyzer is your personal AI speaking coach. It goes beyond simple repetition by listening to your natural speech and providing a comprehensive breakdown of your communication skills.

Whether you are preparing for a high-stakes exam or just want to sound more natural in daily conversations, Speech Analyzer gives you the data you need to improve.

What does Speech Analyzer evaluate?

The AI examines five core pillars of verbal communication:

Pronunciation: Accuracy of individual sounds and word stress.

Fluency: Your speaking pace and the reduction of "filler" words (like um or uh).

Intonation: The rhythm and "melody" of your speech.

Grammar: Correctness of sentence structures and tenses.

Vocabulary: The range and sophistication of the words you choose.

How to access Speech Analyzer:

Launch the ELSA Speak app.

Navigate to the Coach tab at the bottom of the screen.

Tap "Try it now" under the Speech Analyzer banner to begin your session.

Depending on your goals, you can choose between two distinct practice environments:

1. Free Speaking (Unstructured Practice)

Best for: Daily maintenance, confidence building, and casual conversation.

How it works: Talk about anything! You can describe your day, summarize a movie, or practice a work presentation. There are no prompts or time limits.

The Benefit: This mode mimics real-life interactions where you don't have a script. It’s the best way to identify your "default" speaking habits and see where you naturally struggle with fluency or grammar.

2. IELTS Speaking Test (Structured Practice)

Best for: Students preparing for the IELTS exam or those who want academic feedback.

How it works: This mode replicates the official IELTS Speaking format. You will be guided through:

Part 1: General introduction and familiar topics.

Part 2: A "Long Turn" where you speak on a specific prompt for 1–2 minutes.

Part 3: A deeper discussion based on the Part 2 topic.

The Benefit: You receive an estimated band score and specific feedback on how to structure your answers to meet exam criteria.
