Pronunciation Insights
Introduction:
Pronunciation Insights is a feature in Testlify designed to assess a candidate’s spoken English during Voice & Video type questions. It provides automated scoring based on:
- Accuracy – Correctness of word pronunciation
- Fluency – Smoothness and pace of speaking
- Prosody – Use of rhythm, stress, and intonation
These insights help recruiters evaluate communication skills beyond just content, offering a clearer picture of how well a candidate can speak English.
