Speak

Speak is an AI language tutor focused on speaking fluency, giving instant pronunciation feedback and open-ended conversation practice.

Overview

Speak is designed around the hardest part of language learning: talking. Its AI tutor engages learners in realistic spoken conversations and evaluates pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary in real time, offering corrections that learners can immediately apply. Lessons build toward practical scenarios such as job interviews, travel, and daily small talk, and the fluency scoring system tracks speaking progress over time. Backed by OpenAI, Speak’s conversation engine handles natural follow-up questions rather than scripted dialogues. The product is built around the insight that speaking confidence comes from volume of practice, not grammar study. Feedback is immediate but encouraging, and lesson themes map to situations learners actually face abroad. Progress metrics make fluency improvement visible, which sustains motivation over months.
