## What is OpenTongue?

Learn new languages by simply speaking.

OpenTongue is a voice-first language coach for people who can use apps all day but freeze the moment they have to talk. You speak, it listens, and it hands you an honest report: your level, what you did well, the mistakes you actually made, and the natural way a native speaker would have said it.

TWO WAYS TO PRACTICE
- Speak & get a report — Talk about anything for 5, 10, or 15 minutes, or open-ended. Get a written breakdown of your level (CEFR), what's working, and every error with a correction and a natural rewrite.
- Live conversation — Talk back and forth with a tutor in real time. It listens and replies as you speak, so you get the reps in before you need them in the real world.

AN HONEST REPORT, NOT A SCORE
Most apps just say "¡Correcto!" OpenTongue tells you the truth: "hacer un día" isn't Spanish — you want "tener un día." You see your CEFR level, the patterns holding you back, and concrete rewrites you can use tomorrow.

BRING YOUR OWN KEY
OpenTongue runs on AI you already pay for. Connect a ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok account with a quick key — about two minutes — and pay your provider directly, usually a few cents per session. Your key never leaves your device. (Live voice conversation currently works with OpenAI.)

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your API key stays on your device. Your conversations are yours.

Speaking is the part you can't fake. OpenTongue is where you practice it.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-07-01

This is our biggest update since launch. OpenTongue grew from "record and get a report" into a full speaking coach:

Live conversation — Talk back and forth with an AI tutor in real time, then get an honest report on what to work on. (Live voice needs an OpenAI or Grok key)

More languages — Practice beyond Spanish. Choose your target language in onboarding or Settings.

Find your level — A one-minute spoken placement sets your starting level, so feedback fits you from day one.

It remembers you — OpenTongue tracks the mistakes you keep making across sessions and gently weaves them back in until they stick.

A daily habit that's kind — Knot of the Day, a forgiving streak, and a "your week in knots" recap.

Vocabulary recall — Quiz yourself on the words you keep reaching for.

Share your progress — Turn any session into a shareable Loosening Card.

Lock-screen widget — One tap to start talking.

We also made the text bigger and clearer, gave the speaking modes proper buttons, and hardened the report pipeline so a dropped connection no longer loses your session.

Speak, and you'll get better.
