Spoken English Online Test Platform
Automated Spoken English Assessment for Superior Hiring and Workforce Development Outcomes
Strong English communication skills are critical for success in today’s global economy. For businesses, this means hiring and developing candidates who can effectively communicate in English to improve work efficiency and enhance collaboration. Standardised English communication tests are inadequate in establishing the right benchmarks and meeting high volume competency-based language assessment needs of organisations.
MeritTrac’s automated spoken English online test platform, SpeechTrac, objectively evaluates spoken English skills of job seekers who speak a language other than English. SpeechTrac uses the patented Carnegie Speech engine and pinpointing technology to identify errors in sentence reading, sentence correction, and impromptu speech. This technology facilitates testing a candidate’s spoken English abilities at the phoneme level against the grammar, pronunciation, fluency, and word stress of native speakers.
This tool based communication test platform helps organizations on two levels. One, it enhances fresher-level and lateral hiring outcomes by evaluating candidates for their spoken English skills based on grammar, vocabulary, and other critical parameters. Two, it helps Learning & Development (L&D) teams to assess the communication skills of employees, identify skill gaps, and design training programs that address specific learning needs.
SpeechTrac is widely used in the recruitment of candidates for BPO, KPO, and ITES industries where the job requires interaction with clients or customers who are native English speakers.
