The platform has been used by over 2.5 million users from 125 countries and has processed more than 1.8 million assessments across healthcare staffing, education, and corporate training sectors.
Core functionality includes automated speaking assessments with CEFR-aligned proficiency scores, job-specific ESL training modules, AI speech analysis trained on diverse accents, on-demand test delivery, and analytics dashboards for workforce-level reporting. The platform supports both individual assessments and large-scale batch testing.
SmallTalk2Me solves the challenge of evaluating spoken English consistently and efficiently, helping organizations reduce hiring risk, identify training needs, and ensure employees can perform effectively in English-language work environments.
