Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about VoiceExam.
VoiceExam is an AI-powered oral assessment platform that allows educators to create, administer, and grade spoken exams at scale. Students respond to questions verbally, and our AI transcribes and grades their responses against instructor-defined rubrics, dramatically reducing the time and effort required for oral assessments.
Our AI system uses advanced speech-to-text technology to transcribe student responses, then evaluates them against the rubric criteria you define. The AI provides a suggested score and detailed feedback for each response. Instructors always have full control to review, adjust, or override any AI-generated grade before it is finalized.
VoiceExam supports a variety of oral assessment formats including timed oral exams, open-ended question responses, structured interviews, language proficiency assessments, presentation evaluations, and clinical competency evaluations. You can customize time limits, question order randomization, number of attempts, and grading rubrics for each exam.
