*Steps to recreate:*

2. **Enable Recording**: Allow the test-taker to record their response, with an option for preparation time if needed.
3. **Use SpeechAce APIs**: Use the [Spontaneous Speech API](/features/spontaneous-activities.md) to get the pronunciation, fluency and other feedback metrics of the test-taker's response.
4. **Evaluate and Report**: Assess the test-taker's response and present a detailed report based on the feedback metrics of your choice. You can use the following score fields to measure components listed in the IELTS score guide:
