After recording in speaking items, vocabulary read-aloud, or listening shadowing, you can choose AI scoring when you tap End. AI scores each item; minutes are charged by skill blocks, only for scored items—not “1 item = 1 minute”.
AI scoring is not the same as speaking feedback. Speaking feedback comes after Self practice or Pair practice; AI scoring scores items in material practice from Learn.
Where it is
From Learn → Vocabulary / Listening / Speaking items, tap Practice, record on the Practice page, and tap End.
Steps
- Record each item. The page shows that you can choose AI scoring when you end.
- Tap End. Score with AI? shows how many items you recorded, up to how many minutes, and your balance.
- Choose Score with AI or Skip.
- When scoring is done, you see each item’s score and the average. You can also review it in Progress.
How minutes are charged
- Charged once after scoring, only for items that were scored.
- Order: benefits → subscription points → purchased points.
- Unscored items, Skip, or scoring that never started are not charged.
- If the balance runs out, remaining items show that they were not scored.
Block rates (same as the End dialog)
| Skill | Summary | Common examples |
|---|---|---|
| Vocabulary | ~10 items per minute block | 1–10 scored → often 1 minute |
| Listening | ~4 items per minute block | 1–5 → often 1; 6–7 → often 2 |
| Speaking items | ~2 items per minute block | 1 → 1; 3 → 2; 5 → 3 |
At least 1 minute when any item can be scored. Trust the dialog’s “up to X minutes”. Overview: How charges work.
If you skip: check yourself
With no balance, or when you Skip, you can still practise. Each item has a Model answer and Scoring points.
