Emmersion is a technology company that specializes in AI-powered language assessment solutions. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Lehi, Utah, Emmersion develops adaptive language tests that evaluate speaking, writing, reading, and grammar skills across multiple languages. The company's flagship product is the TrueNorth Speaking Assessment, which uses artificial intelligence to conduct fully automated speaking tests in 15 minutes, covering nine languages including English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Mandarin, Portuguese and Tagalog. Emmersion's proprietary TrueNorth scale provides granular 100-point scoring that maps to global standards like CEFR. The company's cloud-based platform has conducted millions of automated assessments for corporate and educational institutions worldwide. In September 2022, Emmersion was acquired by IXL Learning, expanding IXL's portfolio of language and literacy products.
