FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Voice AI for oral assessment?
A digital platform where a student can receive instruction, practice and complete an oral assessment through spoken interaction. The system asks questions, listens to the answer and follows up based on fixed assessment criteria.
Is it only for tests?
No. The same environment can be used for instruction, practice, role-play, professional conversations and preparation for presentations or defenses.
What material can be used as input?
Teaching materials, cases, rubrics, assessment forms, study guides and training scenarios. Usually the existing material is the starting point.
Does AI assess the conversation itself?
The AI conducts the conversation and provides an assessment rationale against the defined criteria. For a formal assessment, the examiner remains responsible for the judgment.
Which languages can be used?
Language support depends on the configuration. During the initial consultation, we discuss the language or languages in which students need to be assessed.
What happens to recordings?
Recordings and transcripts are personal data and fall under the data processing agreement with the institution. Retention, access and deletion are agreed in advance.
Is it accessible for students with speech or hearing impairments?
A spoken assessment is not the right format for every student. During setup, alternative assessment forms should be discussed so assessment remains accessible.
