Abstract:
The present invention provides a system for determining a language proficiency of a user in an evaluated language. A machine learning engine may be trained using audio file variables from a plurality of audio files and human generated scores for a comprehensibility, accentedness and intelligibility for each audio file. The system may receive an audio file from a user and determine a plurality of audio file variables from the audio file. The system may apply the audio file variables to the machine learning engine to determine a comprehensibility, an accentedness and an intelligibility score for the user. The system may determine one or more projects and/or classes for the user based on the user's comprehensibility score, accentedness score and/or intelligibility score.
