SpeakClearly

Coached pronunciation — backed by science.

Speak clearly,
and be understood.

SpeakClearly is a pronunciation training app that shows you what your voice is actually doing — waveforms, formants, pitch, pauses — so you can hear the difference and see why.

No credit card. Early access invites go out in batches.

How it works

Three steps. Every session.

1

Listen

Hear the instructor say the target word or phrase. Slow it to 0.5× if you want to dissect every phoneme.

2

Record

Tap once, say the word, tap again. Your audio goes up to the analysis service and comes back as a waveform.

3

See what changed

A side-by-side breakdown across formant, pitch, timing, and intensity — with one-sentence coaching, not a grade.

The science

Your voice, not a guess.

Most language apps score pronunciation with a black box — "try again" with no explanation. SpeakClearly uses the same acoustic analysis linguists use: formant tracking, F0 contour, intensity, timing. We show it to you, in plain language.

  • Formants (F1, F2) — the shape of your vowels, plotted next to the target.
  • Pitch contour — the rise and fall of your voice over time.
  • Intensity envelope — energy across the phrase, so rhythm lands.
  • Timing — syllable pacing, compared to the instructor's baseline.

What's inside

Built for practice, not points.

Real instructors

Every lesson is recorded by a human coach, not a synthesized voice. Your target actually comes from a person.

Spectrograms & formants

See your vowels plotted in F1/F2 space, compared to the target. Hear the difference, then see why.

Playback at 0.5× / 0.75×

Slow the instructor without changing pitch, so you can pick apart each phoneme.

Daily streaks

A minute a day keeps the mouth moving. We reward consistency, not grinding.

In-app coaching

Ask your instructor a question directly. Replies come back in a few business days — not a chatbot.

Your voice stays yours

Recordings are used to coach you — never to train third-party models or for advertising.

For instructors

Coach more students, with less noise.

Record a lesson once. See every student's formant plot, score trend, and most-recent recording in one dashboard. Reply to support tickets in-app. Assign lessons to individuals or your whole cohort.

Questions

The short version.

Is this an "accent reduction" app?

No. SpeakClearly helps you be understood — it doesn't treat your accent as something to be fixed. You decide which sounds you want to work on; we just make the feedback specific.

What languages does it support?

English at launch, since that's where our instructors are. Spanish and Mandarin are on the roadmap.

Do you use my voice recordings to train AI?

No. Your recordings are used to power your own feedback and — if you're enrolled with an instructor — shared with that instructor for coaching. That's it. Details in our Privacy Policy.

How is this different from Duolingo / Speak / ELSA?

Those apps optimize for gameplay loops and streaks. We optimize for actual voice analysis and a real instructor behind every lesson. Less confetti, more coaching.
