3. The Motivation behind our Scoring
Why do we learn English?
Job, Education, Travel = Career opportunities
What is our Goal for speaking?
To be understood !! For a test & in real life
What do ASR algorithms score?
Pronunciation compared with NATIVE speaker
BUT – we can be understood without native level pronunciation

4. Intelligibility Speech Scoring
Intelligibility – How well speech is understood. Not exactly the same as pronunciation!!!
People can be well understood even if they have an accent and their pronunciation is not perfect.
When learning English, intelligibility is the desired achievement.
In our system, thresholds for pronunciation and intelligibility can be easily tuned.
