How the Competition Works
Four steps from payment to leaderboard — here's exactly what to expect.
Note: Take enough trial practice attempts before participating in the actual competition
1

Pay ₹129.00 to enter the competition

A one-time payment of ₹129.00 (all taxes and Razorpay convenience charges inclusive) unlocks your entry. Once your payment is successfully captured by Razorpay and verified by our server, your account is credited with 3 attempts and you are taken directly into the test.

⚠️ The test begins immediately after payment — be ready in a quiet environment before paying.
2

Choose a quiet place before you speak

Your voice is recorded live using your device microphone and transcribed by an ME (Modified Evaluator). Accuracy depends heavily on audio quality. Before starting:


✅  Go somewhere silent — no fans, traffic, or TV in the background.

✅  Avoid rooms that echo (Hall ways, empty halls, public space).

✅  Speak directly into your device microphone.

✅  Keep your device steady — don't muffle the mic.

⚠️ Poor audio quality may reduce your score. No refunds are issued due to self-submitted low-quality recordings.
3

Speak all 12 tenses — use your 3 attempts wisely

Say "I write a letter" in all 12 English tenses within each attempt. After each attempt you will see your score and a detailed tense-by-tense breakdown. You may then choose to:


✅  Proceed for Submission — if satisfied with your score.

🔄  Try the Next Attempt — to improve your score.


Each attempt consumes one of your 3 credits whether or not you submit. On your third and final attempt, your score is automatically submitted — you cannot discard it.

✅ Tip: Say each tense carefully and clearly. The ME (Modified Evaluator) scores each of the 12 tenses independently.
4

Check your rank on the Leaderboard

After submission you are redirected to the Dashboard. Click the LEADERBOARD button to see how you rank against all participants. Leaderboard positions are determined by accuracy score — updated in real time after every submission.

✅ Your best score across all paid sessions is displayed on the leaderboard.

Everything you need to know about how payments work on AngLo.
📋

What you're paying for

Each payment of ₹129.00 (all taxes and convenience charges inclusive) unlocks 3 attempts for the AngLo Voice Tense Test. Attempts are valid for 2 hours only. However, each attempt is consumed the moment you start recording, regardless of whether you submit that attempt.

🚫

Refund & Cancellation Policy

All payments are non-refundable once the Razorpay checkout is initiated, regardless of whether you complete the test, achieve a passing score, or use any attempts. This applies even if you close the browser or lose internet connectivity mid-session.

Exception: If your payment is deducted but attempts are not credited to your account, contact us within 48 hours with your Razorpay Payment ID. We will investigate and resolve it promptly. This is the only scenario in which a refund or credit may be considered.

🔄

How billing works

This is a one-time payment — there are no subscriptions, recurring charges, or hidden fees. Once all 3 attempts for a session are used, a fresh payment of ₹129.00 is required to unlock 3 more attempts. Unused attempts from one payment cannot be carried over, transferred to another account, or exchanged for any other service.

🔒

Secure payments by Razorpay

All transactions are processed by Razorpay — a PCI DSS Compliant Payment Gateway. Your card, UPI, or banking details are never stored on AngLo's servers. You will receive a payment confirmation from Razorpay to your registered email address.

Secured by Razorpay
⚠️

UPI / Net Banking payment delays

If you pay via UPI or Net Banking, your bank may redirect you outside the browser. On returning, our system automatically polls Razorpay for up to 10 seconds to confirm your payment. If your attempts are not credited immediately, wait 2–3 minutes and refresh the page before contacting support — the delay is usually on the bank's side, not ours.

Attempt & Scoring Rules
How your voice is evaluated and what counts as a valid attempt.
🔢

Attempts are consumed on recording start

An attempt is consumed as soon as you click "Start Speaking" and recording begins. Closing the browser, losing internet, or stopping the recording before speaking does not restore the attempt. Plan accordingly — ensure a stable connection and quiet environment before starting.

📊

How scoring works

Your speech is transcribed by our Modifed Evaluator and compared against the 12 correct tense forms of "I write a letter." Each tense is scored independently using word-overlap similarity. A tense is counted as matched if it scores 100%. Your final accuracy is the average score across all 12 tenses.

⏱️

Recording time limits

Recording stops automatically if 2.5 seconds of silence is detected after you finish speaking, or after a maximum of 90 seconds — whichever comes first. You may also stop manually at any time. Speak at a natural pace; do not rush.

📤

Final submission is irreversible

Once you click "Proceed for Submission", your score is permanently recorded and cannot be changed, disputed, or re-evaluated. On your third attempt, submission is automatic — there is no option to discard the result. Ensure you are ready before beginning your final attempt.

🏅

Leaderboard scoring

Your leaderboard position reflects your most recently submitted score for the current payment session. Scores are ranked by accuracy percentage in descending order. In case of equal accuracy, the earlier submission ranks higher. AngLo reserves the right to remove any entry from the leaderboard if cheating or policy violations are detected.

Audio & Technical Requirements
Minimum technical requirements to ensure your submission is evaluated fairly.
🎤

Microphone access is required

The test requires your browser to have microphone access. If you deny microphone permission, recording will fail and the attempt will be lost. Please grant microphone access when prompted by your browser. AngLo does not control browser permissions.

🌐

Stable internet connection required

Your audio is uploaded to our server after recording. A stable internet connection is required. If the upload fails due to poor connectivity, the attempt is consumed but the result may not be saved. We recommend using Wi-Fi or a strong mobile data connection (4G/5G) rather than a weak signal.

🔊

Audio quality affects your score

Audio is converted to 16 kHz mono WAV and processed through noise filtering before transcription. However, heavy background noise, echoes, or muffled speech can reduce ME transcription accuracy and therefore your score. AngLo will not adjust or re-evaluate scores due to self-submitted poor-quality audio.

💻

Supported browsers

The test uses the browser's MediaRecorder API and records in WebM format. Use a modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari 14.1+. Older browsers or browsers without WebM support may fail to record. AngLo is not responsible for technical failures caused by unsupported browsers.

⚠️ Important: Technical failures caused by your device, browser, internet connection, or microphone are outside AngLo's control and do not qualify for refunds or additional attempts. Test your microphone and internet connection before initiating payment.
