Speaking on camera
Using your voice when you record a video, join an online call, or go live: the first sentence, pace, sentence endings, stress, fitting a time limit, and carrying on after a stumble. Talky measures only your voice. It doesn't see your eyes, posture, or picture.

Every take measures your pace, your pauses and your filler words.
Exam and certificate
A spoken exam closes the level. Pass it and the certificate is yours.
