About Spokaro

Spokaro is an AI speaking coach for the speaking part of the CELPIP test, the English test many newcomers to Canada take for permanent residence and citizenship. It is a small, independent project, made for learners of every first language.

What it gives you

  • The 8 tasks, timedEach speaking task under the real test’s preparation and speaking timer, with a replay.
  • A free mock testOne full mock test, scored by an AI on the test’s four dimensions.
  • What to fix firstA level estimate, the three things to fix first, and a model answer for every task.

How the marking works

When you send an answer, Microsoft Azure AI Speech writes down what you said, word for word, keeping your own mistakes, and measures your pronunciation, fluency and pauses. An AI model then reads the transcript beside the task and marks it on the test’s four dimensions:

How an answer is marked

The test marks speaking on 4 dimensions, each with 4 factors. Spokaro’s AI marks your answer on the same 16.

Practice scores are estimates

A practice score is an estimate from one answer, shown as a band (“about CLB 7–8”), never as one exact number. It is not your CELPIP result and no promise of one. Only the official test decides your result.

Your voice

Practice recordings stay on your phone. A scored answer’s recording is deleted as soon as it is scored, and we never use your voice to identify you. The privacy policy has the details.
