Global English
EnglishScore doesn't penalise regional accents or English varieties. Our Speaking Test assesses global comprehensibility — not adherence to a single 'standard' accent. The test content reflects real-world communication across personal, public, and workplace contexts, using topics that don't require knowledge of any particular culture or country.
This approach is deliberate. We believe English proficiency should be measured by your ability to communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds — not by how closely you match a specific dialect.
Reliability
EnglishScore has been taken over 15 million times on mobile devices across 150+ countries — including regions with variable connectivity. The app is designed to handle real-world conditions: it works on modest internet connections, auto-saves progress, and manages interruptions gracefully. If a call comes in or your connection drops briefly, you won't lose your work.
