What it is
Voice-based assessment
AkoVoice uses a course rubric to have a conversation with a learner, that will validate knowledge or probe incomplete answers, and produce a criterion-level report with evidence quoted directly from the conversation. The tutor reviews the session and confirms the actual result.
Tested in English, Korean, and Mandarin across welding safety, automotive pre-delivery inspection, and aged care communication.
Why it matters
Designed for the workplace
Learners demonstrate competency through their hands and their voice — explaining what they did, why they did it, and what they'd do differently. AkoVoice lets them speak in their own words, and gives the tutor a structured, evidence-backed view of what each learner actually knows.
It runs two ways from one engine: a structured, offline-capable mode for accessible workshop verification where connectivity is thin, and a live, online mode for real-time simulation and de-escalation contexts. Both surface the reasoning behind a learner's actions that written formats can miss. The AI captures the evidence; the qualified tutor makes the judgement.
The methodology is open under CC BY 4.0. The rubric specification is open and neutral — supporting binary, three-level, and four-level grading frameworks used across different national qualification systems, so it adapts to your standards.
