Questions

What is talk1min?

talk1min is a free daily speaking practice for English learners. You pick a topic and a question, speak for up to 60 seconds, and we email you a clear analysis of your answer (pronunciation, grammar, fluency, vocabulary and content), together with your recording.

Is it really free?

Yes, talk1min is free to use. To keep it fair for everyone, each account can have up to 5 recordings analyzed per day.

How are the scores calculated?

Your answer is scored from 0 to 100 on pronunciation, grammar, fluency, vocabulary and content (how well you answered the question). The overall score is their average, and it is lowered when an answer doesn't address the question. The scores are a study aid to help you notice progress, not an official exam result.

Are my recordings stored?

No. We don't keep your recordings on our servers. Your audio is used only to produce your feedback, and it is sent back to you as an attachment in your results email. See the Privacy Policy for the details.
