OWL overview

What is OWL?

OWL Testing Software is a 20+ year proven online language assessment and test management platform purpose-built for organizations that need rigorous, scalable proficiency testing across all four language skills -- speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Unlike general-purpose testing platforms, OWL is designed for language-intensive use cases: interpreter certification programs, university language programs, corporate language training, pre-employment bilingual screening, and government language testing. OWL's AI scoring engine evaluates spoken and written responses and returns CEFR, ILR, or ACTFL-aligned scores in seconds, at per-test costs under $20 -- replacing expensive, slow human-rating workflows without sacrificing rubric precision.

Key capabilities: AI-scored oral and written responses in 40+ languages, custom rubric builder (analytic, holistic, and weighted), blind rating and inter-rater reliability workflows, white-label branding, CEFR/ILR/ACTFL alignment, Microsoft Azure global hosting, LTI/SSO/Web API integration, localized UI in 24 languages, and per-test pricing that scales from startup programs to enterprise-volume deployments.

Trusted by NYU, Columbia University, Yale Center for Language Studies, Lionbridge Technologies, Kaiser Permanente, the National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters, and many others.
