Joe Speaking is an IELTS Speaking preparation application that provides mock tests and focused practice sessions with an AI examiner. The app simulates the live IELTS Speaking test format, allowing users to respond naturally through spoken conversation. The AI examiner follows up on the user's answers, creating a dialogue that does not rely on scripts or button prompts. The service operates on a pay-as-you-use model with no subscription requirement. After each practice session, the app generates a detailed performance analysis, including an examiner's summary. Users receive a band score with a breakdown across all four official IELTS assessment criteria. The scoring process uses yes/no checks against the user's actual spoken responses rather than direct AI judgment, and the scoring methodology is publicly documented. The app also provides word-level feedback, with highlighted segments of the user's speech accompanied by numbered notes that explain vocabulary choices, natural phrasing, and opportunities for more precise language. Criterion-level results indicate which band level the user's performance reached and what is required to reach the next level. Joe Speaking includes practice materials for the latest IELTS Speaking question types, covering Part 1 introductory questions, Part 2 cue cards, and follow-up discussion topics. At the end of each session, the app presents a prioritized list of next steps, allowing users to apply recommended corrections while the practice is still fresh. This workflow helps test takers identify their current band level, understand the specific reasons behind their score, and work toward a higher target band through repeated focused practice before test day.
