Lingo Copilot Speaking · IELTS Speaking
Updated
Your AI examiner for IELTS Speaking.
Lingo Copilot Speaking runs full three-part IELTS Speaking mock tests with a real-time AI examiner, then scores each answer against the four official criteria — fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation — down to the individual sound. It is built for candidates who can only afford a tutor occasionally but need to practise every day.
The scale you are practising for
Bands 0–9, four criteria, one interview.
An 11–14 minute face-to-face (or video-call) interview with a certified examiner, scored from Band 0 to 9 across four equally weighted criteria.
What Lingo Copilot Speaking does
Every feature answers one question: where exactly are the marks going?
Real-time AI examiner for all three parts
A voice agent asks Part 1, Part 2 (cue card with one minute to prepare) and Part 3 questions and replies almost immediately, so the rhythm feels like the real interview rather than a quiz.
Band estimate on the four IELTS criteria
Every response returns an estimated band with separate scores for fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation, aligned with the public band descriptors.
Phoneme-level pronunciation feedback
Word-by-word scores show what you said versus what a native speaker would say (for example /rɪˈræks/ against /rɪˈlæks/), with tips on tongue and mouth position for each sound.
Fluency analysis you can measure
Words per minute, pause count and filler words are tracked per answer, so "speak more fluently" becomes a number you can move.
Grammar correction and Band 7+ model answers
Each answer is rewritten with corrections and paired with a higher-band model answer whose vocabulary is highlighted, with translations into your language on tap.
Personal AI coach and daily plan
A coach that remembers your history recommends what to practise today, sends reminders, and lets you record answers inside the chat. Typical routine: 15–20 minutes a day.
Seven practice modes
Practice session, interactive feedback, full mock tests, AI coach, video courses with model answers, AI vocabulary flashcards built from your own topics, and a question bank of IELTS-style questions.
Free 15-minute evaluation
Six questions across all three parts, an estimated band, pronunciation analysis and an improvement plan — no credit card, and it unlocks a discount on paid plans.
How it works
Three steps, repeated until the estimate stops moving.
Take the free evaluation

Questions about Lingo Copilot Speaking
Straight answers.
What is Lingo Copilot Speaking?
Lingo Copilot Speaking is an AI-powered IELTS Speaking coach. It runs full three-part mock tests with a real-time AI examiner, estimates your band on the four official criteria, scores pronunciation at the level of individual sounds, and gives you a personal AI coach and daily plan. It is available at speaking.lingo-copilot.com and on Google Play.
How does the AI estimate my IELTS Speaking band?
Each answer is transcribed and analysed for fluency and coherence (including words per minute, pauses and fillers), lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation, then mapped to the public IELTS band descriptors. You receive a separate score for each criterion and an overall estimate, plus a corrected transcript and a Band 7+ model answer.
Is the free evaluation really free?
Yes. The evaluation takes about 15 minutes, covers six questions across Parts 1, 2 and 3, and returns an estimated band, pronunciation analysis and an improvement plan without a credit card. Completing it also unlocks a 15% discount on paid plans, valid for 48 hours.
How much does Lingo Copilot Speaking cost?
As of August 2026: US$39 per month as a subscription, or a one-time payment of US$69 for 3 months of access or US$99 for 6 months, each with a 3-day free trial and no recurring charge on the one-time plans. Prices exclude tax; the live pricing section at speaking.lingo-copilot.com is authoritative.
How long does it take to improve my Speaking band?
There is no fixed timeline, and we publish no improvement statistics of our own. The Speaking team's guidance is that most students notice a difference within two to three weeks of daily practice and that a 0.5–1.0 band improvement typically takes 8–12 weeks. The recommended routine is 15–20 minutes a day with feedback on every response, sustained for several weeks before your test date.
Is it better than a human tutor?
It is different. A tutor is excellent for strategy and nuanced feedback but expensive to see every day; Lingo Copilot Speaking is for the daily reps in between — or instead of a tutor if budget is tight.
Is the real IELTS Speaking test marked by AI?
No. The official IELTS Speaking test is an 11–14 minute interview, in person or by video call, marked by a certified human examiner against the public band descriptors. Lingo Copilot Speaking uses AI to estimate that score during practice so you can rehearse daily; the estimate is a practice tool, not an official result.
Can I retake only the Speaking section?
Yes, in many countries. IELTS One Skill Retake lets you re-sit one skill — including Speaking — within 60 days of a computer-delivered IELTS test, and you receive a new Test Report Form combining the retake with your other three scores. It is a good reason to keep practising Speaking specifically after a full test.
Does Lingo Copilot Speaking help with Writing, Reading or Listening?
Its practice tools are built for Speaking only. The free IELTS Success Guide e-book covers strategy for all four skills, but for Reading, Listening and Writing practice the team recommends the official Cambridge books.
Can I use it in my own language?
Practice is in English, as the test is, but feedback includes tap-to-translate into your language and the website is available in 22 languages including Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Hindi, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Ukrainian, Filipino, Malay and Bengali.
