Emmersion Learning provides a language-learning platform built around TrueNorth Test, a fully automated speaking assessment that delivers immediate results using machine learning and artificial intelligence. The platform captures data through an adaptive and automated assessment system to evaluate speaking skills. Its Spanish and English assessments have been taken by several Fortune 500 companies and numerous major universities in over 30 countries. Ten additional languages including Japanese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese, and Arabic are set to release soon. The company plans to use the $2.4M raised in its second funding round to expand the platform, explore offerings for academic and corporate markets, and accelerate R&D hiring. Founded in 2015 by CEO Joe Tomco, Emmersion Learning aims to broaden its language coverage and market reach. Emmersion Learning is a Lehi, Utah–based creator of the TrueNorth Speaking Test that allows organizations to test learners' oral language proficiency automatically through any web-connected device. The TrueNorth Speaking Test automates speaking testing by leveraging speech recognition models, advanced statistical algorithms, and time-tested linguistic and psychometric methodologies. The company raised $600K in seed financing to continue to develop and distribute its TrueNorth Speaking Test. Backers included Zylun Global and Access to Education, a Silicon Valley edtech accelerator. Emmersion Learning is led by CEO Joe Tomco and Chief Product Officer Jacob Burdis.
