MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048431 A) filed by Rose Mary Philip, Idukki, Kerala, on April 16, for 'speech-processing system and method for automated learner speaking confidence scoring.'
Inventor(s) include Rose Mary Philip.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Speech-Processing System and Method for Automated Learner Speaking Confidence Scoring This invention describes a speech-processing-based system and method for automated determination of a speaking confidence score for a learner. Spoken audio data is acquired through a recording interface and processed to extract confidence-indicative parameters including speech rate, hesitation frequency and duration, filler word occurrence, and pitch variation characteristics. The extracted parameters are normalized and evaluated using a weighted scoring framework to generate a composite confidence index representing the learner's speaking confidence level. The generated index may be further classified into predefined confidence bands and accompanied by analytical feedback for training or assessment purposes. The disclosed arrangement enables objective, repeatable, and scalable evaluation of oral communication behavior without exclusive dependence on human evaluators. The system is applicable in language training, interview preparation, classroom assessment, employability training, and professional communication coaching environments requiring learner-specific confidence measurement."
