Handling fluency response

The pronunciation interpretation of the spoken word or sentence remains the same as in the Score Text/Pronunciation function. To interpret the fluency quality, refer to the below key elements:

Overall Fluency Scores

These scores assist test creators in evaluating the overall fluency of spoken responses, offering insights into the quality of the test-taker's speech. Below is an example of how the fluency score is presented. For detailed interpretation, please refer to the overall score guide, which includes scales from systems such as IELTS, PTE, and Speechace.

Fluency Metrics

Some of the fluency metrics which can be used to give insights to the test-takers on their test UI are as follows:

1. word_correct_per_minute: This measures the count of words per minute. You can color-code the test-taker's rate and compare it to the standard rate of 120 words per minute, which is widely considered the minimum fluent speaking rate.

2. all_pause_list []: This is a list of all pauses, with each pause marked by begin and end times, accurate to within 10 milliseconds. Identify and display the locations of medium pause duration (≥500 milliseconds) and long pause duration (>1 second) based on the length and positions of entries in the all_pause_list[].

3. duration and articulation: Display the duration and articulation length to show how much time the user spent speaking compared to pausing or using fillers.

   a. duration : The total length of the speech in seconds, including all pauses, fillers, and non-speech events.

   b. articulation: The total length of actual articulation, calculated as the total speech duration minus pauses, hesitations, non-speech events (such as laughter), and excluding any silence at the very beginning and very end of the speech.
