<p>An approach to evaluating a person's speech skills includes automatically processing speech of a person and text some or all of which corresponds to the speech. In some examples, a job application procedure includes collecting speech from an applicant, and using text corresponding to the collected speech to automatically assess speech skills of the applicant. The text may include text that is presented to the applicant and the speech collected from the applicant can include the applicant reading the presented text.</p>
