If you're looking for a fun, effective way to improve your English speaking skills, chances are you’ve come across ELSA Speak —an AI-powered app that helps learners practice pronunciation, fluency, and more. One of the key features that makes ELSA stand out is the EPS Score and English Proficiency Score . But what exactly is it, and how can it help you reach your English learning goals?
What Is the EPS Score?
EPS stands for English Proficiency Score . It’s a unique metric used by the ELSA Speak app to evaluate and track your spoken English skills over time. Think of it as your personal English progress report—delivered in real time, every time you practice.
The EPS score is shown as a percentage (from 0% to 100%) and reflects your overall performance across five key speaking skills:
- Pronunciation – Are you saying the sounds of English correctly?
- Fluency – How smooth and natural is your speaking?
- Intonation – Do your pitch and rhythm match natural English speech?
- Grammar – Are you using correct sentence structure and verb tenses?
- Vocabulary – Are you using a wide and accurate range of words?
How Is EPS Measured?
As you practice with the ELSA app—whether it's repeating phrases, taking quizzes, or doing conversation simulations—the app uses advanced speech recognition and artificial intelligence to analyze your voice. It then calculates your EPS based on how accurately and naturally you speak English.
Each time you complete an activity, you'll get:
- A score for each individual skill (like fluency or grammar)
- Your updated overall EPS score
- Personalized feedback and suggestions for improvement
Why the EPS Score Matters
The EPS score isn’t just a number—it’s a tool that empowers you to:
✅ Track your progress: See how much you've improved week by week or month by month
✅ Set learning goals: Aim for specific skill targets and celebrate small wins
✅ Stay motivated: Watching your score grow can boost your confidence and encourage consistent practice
✅ Get focused feedback: Know exactly what to work on, instead of guessing
Real Results from Real Learners
