Abstract	This study examined the use of a popular Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Google Voice Typing (GVT), to automatically assess English as second language pronunciation. It aimed to answer the following question: What is the relationship between GVT-rated scores and human-rated scores? To answer this question, we compared audio recordings of 56 oral placement tests, rated by both human raters and GVT. Our results indicate that GVT scores strongly correlated with human-rater scores, indicating that this non-customizable ASR technology could be leveraged to increase the test usefulness of language placement tests.
