Getting Started

What is Joe Speaking?

Joe Speaking is a practice tool for IELTS speaking, CELPIP speaking, and everyday English — built by a learner, for learners.

It gives you two ways to practice:

• Live Simulation — have a real-time conversation with an AI examiner, just like the real test
• Daily Recording — record yourself answering any prompt at your own pace, then get feedback when you're ready

It works right in your browser — no app store download needed. Just sign in and start speaking.

How do I get started?

1. Go to joespeaking.com
2. Sign in with your Google account
3. Complete the quick setup
4. Click the "Claim Credits" button to get your free credits — enough for a full IELTS simulation or many recording sessions

No credit card needed to get started. It also works on your phone's browser.

What's the difference between Live Simulation and Daily Recording?

Live Simulation — a real-time conversation with an AI examiner. It follows the actual IELTS format (Part 1 → Part 2 → Part 3) or CELPIP tasks. Great for building confidence with the test format.
