## What is Mimic?

Mimic is a private pronunciation studio for people learning American English. It turns speech into something you can see, compare, and improve—without an account and without sending recordings to a cloud scoring service.

SEE HOW A SOUND IS MADE

Every exercise includes a synchronized Articulation Mirror. Follow animated front and side views of the lips, teeth, jaw, palate, tongue, airflow, and voicing while the reference plays.

COMPARE YOUR OWN TAKE

Record a phrase and review your pitch, rhythm, timing, and delivery beside the reference. Mimic creates a conservative, voice-estimated mouth movement replay with an evidence-weighted accuracy score. Hidden tongue anatomy is never presented as directly observed.

PRACTICE WHAT MATTERS TO YOU

Choose your first-language background and work through focused sound contrasts, word stress, connected speech, and practical phrases. A daily plan and spaced review help difficult sounds return at the right time.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• No account or sign-in
• No advertising or tracking SDKs
• Analysis happens on your device
• Recordings remain on your device
• Delete local learning data from Settings

REFERENCE VOICES THAT STAY CONSISTENT

Reviewed studio reference clips are bundled for instant, offline playback. If a clip is unavailable, Mimic selects the best enhanced English voice installed on your device.

MIMIC PRO

Optional Mimic Pro unlocks the complete curriculum and advanced practice. Choose monthly billing or an annual plan with a 7-day trial for eligible Apple IDs. Continue using the free plan at any time. Purchases can be restored, and subscriptions can be managed from the paywall or Settings.
