Speech pattern analysis refers to the evaluation of how you speak during your IB oral assessment—including pacing, fluency, vocal tone, use of filler words, and structural flow.
It plays a critical role in scoring well in the IB Language A Individual Oral (IO) and Language B orals, as both assessments evaluate:
- Clarity of communication
- Organization of ideas
- Effective use of language
AI tools like the RevisionDojo Oral Assessment Grader (Beta) help you measure and refine these patterns with detailed, real-time feedback.
🧠 Why Speech Pattern Analysis Matters for IB Scores
The IB rubric rewards students who:
- Speak confidently and fluently
- Use a clear, academic tone
- Present ideas in a logical, well-paced manner
- Avoid repetitive language and filler words
Speech pattern problems—like rushing, frequent pauses, or disorganized delivery—can drop your scores in Language Use, Organization, and Understanding & Interpretation.

📈 Example of AI Speech Analysis Output (RevisionDojo)
Imagine recording a 10-minute IO. The grader might return:
- Pacing: 180 WPM (ideal for clarity)
- Filler Words: 12 (above average – recommendation: reduce below 5)
- Longest Pause: 7 seconds (suggestion: add transitions instead)
- Structure: Intro – 1 min, Body – 8 min, Conclusion – 0.5 min (needs better timing on conclusion)
This kind of precise feedback lets you make data-driven adjustments to your speech.
