Articulate is a daily accent and pronunciation coach for adult English speakers who want to sound clearer at work. Five minutes a day, audio only, on your iPhone, no class to attend. WHO IT IS FOR Professionals who already speak English fluently but want to soften a specific accent, sharpen consonants, or fix a few stubborn vowels. Engineers, doctors, consultants, founders, and speakers preparing for a presentation or interview. HOW IT WORKS Each session pairs a target sound (a vowel, a consonant cluster, or a minimal pair like ship versus sheep) with three drills. You listen to a clean reference, repeat it, and compare your audio with the model. The app tracks which sounds you practice and which you still find hard. WHAT IS INSIDE Forty plus targeted sound drills (American English baseline) Minimal pair training for the most confused sound pairs Intonation patterns for questions, statements, and emphasis Self review with playback against the reference Streaks and weekly summary No score shaming. No public feed. No grade. WHAT IT IS NOT Articulate is a self practice tool, not a substitute for a licensed speech language pathologist. If you have a clinical speech concern, work with a credentialed SLP. We do not diagnose, treat, or claim clinical outcomes. PRIVACY Audio recordings stay on your iPhone. There is no upload, no analytics SDK, no ad network. Practice in private without anyone hearing you fumble through the first ten reps. SUBSCRIPTION Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled. You can cancel anytime in iOS Settings, Subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
