TalkScore Evaluation Criteria

When candidates answer audio or video questions, TalkScore scores their responses based on six linguistic parameters:

  • Fluency: Evaluates the rhythm, rate, and smoothness of speech.
  • Grammar: Assesses grammatical range and accuracy, including phrase and clause complexity.
  • Pronunciation: Measures intelligibility and accuracy of word, syllable, and phoneme sounds.
  • Vocabulary: Scores lexical range, sophistication, and correct usage of diverse words.
  • Comprehension: Measures the relevance of the candidate’s answer relative to the given question or transcript.
  • Active Listening: Evaluates the ability to retain and repeat information from the transcript.

Each parameter is scored from 0 to 10 and then converted to the CEFR scale, which provides a standardized benchmark for measuring language proficiency.
