Clinical simulation is being used to teach multi professional teams in a range of environments. Moving simulation from the controlled simulation suite to a range of settings including the ward and prehospital environment presents a challenge for educators who need the scenarios at their fingertips to facilitate effectively. With the ongoing development of new simulation material across the world, collating this material becomes challenging and inefficient. It is also recognised that there was previously no simple way of sharing good quality simulation educational material between educators. As mobile technology becomes ever more accessible, we present a mobile application which enables simulation material to be collated, shared and delivered from a single device - Simulation Tools And Resources (STAR).

You know the word. You have known it for years. Then the moment comes, someone is waiting - and nothing comes out. That silence is not a vocabulary problem. It is a speaking problem, and you cannot tap your way out of it. You fix it by talking out loud, badly, to someone patient. Verbsy is that someone: an AI tutor you can only talk to. There is no keyboard anywhere in a Verbsy conversation. You open your mouth or nothing happens. TALK - THERE IS NOTHING TO TYPE - Live spoken conversation in 16 languages, answered in real time - Interrupt it mid-sentence, the way you would a person: the mic stays open while it speaks - Auto mode replies when you stop talking; Push-to-Talk for noisy places - Captions of the tutor's speech, paced to its measured speaking rate so the text trails your ear - It drops into your own language to help when you are stuck PRACTICE WITH THE SCREEN OFF Lock the phone and keep going. A Lock Screen and Dynamic Island Live Activity keeps the timer, Pause and Stop in reach; on iOS 17 or later, pausing never opens the app. Walk the dog, ride the bus, do the dishes. SEE WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGED Every conversation ends with a summary, not a trophy. Five skills - Vocabulary Breadth, Grammar Accuracy, Pronunciation & Fluency, Listening Comprehension, Conversational Confidence - each 0-100 with what moved this session, minutes spoken, and how many of your own saved words you actually used out loud. For your first few conversations the numbers stay hidden while Verbsy works out your level. SAY YOUR GOAL OUT LOUD Tell the tutor what you are training for: a trip, an interview, your partner's family. Verbsy turns it into a plan of can-do steps and steers your conversations toward them. A step completes only on repeated evidence across at least two different days. THE WORDS YOU FUMBLED BECOME CARDS Verbsy suggests words and phrases from what you said; you tick the ones worth keeping. They become flashcards with spaced repetition, mastery states and Recognize / Produce / Mixed review. The deck is cached on your phone, so review works with no signal. IT REMEMBERS YOU Your name, your interests, the topics you have raised and the mistakes you keep repeating all carry into the next conversation. 16 LANGUAGES English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Polish, Turkish and Vietnamese. Spanish, English, French, Portuguese and Mandarin also offer a regional variant. iPhone only, iOS 16.1 or later. WHAT YOU GET WITHOUT PAYING 30 minutes of tutor conversation, once. A single lifetime allowance shared across every language: not a renewing trial, not 30 minutes each. Everything else is free - all 16 languages, text-only flashcards and the full review system, skills, goals, stats, streaks and dark mode. VERBSY PREMIUM An auto-renewing subscription that unlocks 1 hour of tutor conversation per day, plus AI-spoken pronunciation audio - in the regional variant you picked, where your language offers one - and an AI illustration on your flashcards, up to 50 media generations a day. Conversations need internet; your flashcard deck does not. Your voice is streamed live to the AI and is not stored on Verbsy's servers. You can delete your history, profile, skills or vocabulary - one language or all - without deleting your account. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Verbsy Premium is a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription at the price shown in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase.
