According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Computer-Implemented Intelligent Oral Examination Assessment and Reporting Support System This invention describes a computer-implemented oral examination assessment system for structured academic evaluation during viva voce, thesis defence, project presentation, and related oral assessment events. The system includes an examiner interface, an audio capture module, a speech-to-text engine, a natural language processing module, an adaptive follow-up question generation module, a structured scoring engine, and a secure reporting and archival module. Spoken candidate responses are recorded, transcribed, and analysed for conceptual relevance, keyword coverage, explanation depth, coherence, completeness, and duration. Analytical outputs are displayed as examiner-support parameters without replacing examiner discretion in awarding marks. The system further recommends contextually relevant follow-up questions based on semantic interpretation and an academic knowledge base. Examiner scores, transcript data, timestamps, annotations, and analytics are compiled into a retrievable digital assessment report. The system improves consistency, traceability, moderation support, documentation quality, and institutional accountability in oral academic examinations."
