Our speech robot, Sandi, uses new technology developed at the University of Cambridge. It can tell how well you speak English just by listening to you.

It gives your Speaking an accurate grade on the internationally-recognised CEFR scale.

This can help you understand your speaking ability for work, study, exams (including Cambridge exams), or just for fun.
