Speakace vs Spontanika

Speakace helps you speak a new language fluently: the app plays a phrase, you repeat it, and it moves on as soon as you've spoken. Totally hands-free. Practice makes perfect; we all know that. The problem is finding the time. Speakace fits practice into your day with zero impact on your routine: much like talking with someone over the phone, you can leave your phone on the table or put in mic-enabled headphones or earbuds and carry on with whatever you were doing. BEFORE YOU CONTINUE • The app is for speaking practice, nothing else. No grammar lessons, no translation drills. • You need an intermediate level or above. • No empty promises. Practice is always hard work. We just make it more efficient and available. • Your commitment is required. We can make practice easier, but we cannot do it for you. HOW IT WORKS • Explore phrase collections on the topics you need. • Save your picks for later, or start practicing right away. • Listen and repeat each phrase, one by one, to build confidence. • Stuck on a phrase? Stay silent to automatically replay it. • Can't find the topic you need? Request it, and we'll deliver, usually within hours. PRACTICE YOUR WAY • Three practice paces, from relaxed to fast, plus adjustable playback speed. • Quick Start: type what you want to practice and start in seconds. • Feeling adventurous? Practice a random topic. • Playlists with ordered or shuffled practice and per-item repeat counts. • Keep practicing with the screen locked or the app in the background. • Pick up any session at the exact phrase you left off. • Download your playlists and practice fully offline. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Set a daily goal and watch today's progress and your weekly average. • Build a practice streak and beat your personal record. • Charts of your speaking time and spoken words by day, week, or month. • See how your daily word count compares to native speakers. • Explore your Practice Atlas: a map of the topics you've covered so far. APP FEATURES • English and German today, with more languages on the way. • Search that finds phrases by meaning, not just the exact words. • Sign in with Apple or a one-time email code. No passwords. • Private by design: no ads, no tracking, no voice recordings. SUBSCRIPTION • Browsing, searching, and saving collections are free. • Practicing requires a subscription, with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers. • On-demand content requests come with higher plans, or with promo credits on any plan. • Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period. • Cancel or manage your subscription in the app or in your App Store account settings.

The announcer names a random word — and you talk about it until the next one arrives. No preparation, no chosen topic, no time to think an answer through: you have to speak at once, out loud, without pauses for "uhm" and without editing yourself. After a few sessions something characteristic happens: words stop being invented and start arriving on their own. That moment — when speech runs ahead of thought — is the whole point of verbal improvisation. Spontanika is a verbal improvisation trainer: an instrument for self-realization and personal development, based on public speaking and improv exercises and on simple techniques for concentrating the attention. Regular speaking practice develops the imagination and mental acuity, builds eloquence and the confidence to think on your feet, and uncovers your creative potential. A SESSION • Pick a duration and how often the word changes; twenty minutes with a new word every two is the usual start • A call-sign warns you of the change, then the word is spoken aloud • The screen can flash instead, for practising in silence • Speak until the word changes — the app keeps time for you WHAT IS INSIDE • Over a thousand nouns in eleven categories, chosen to form vivid images • Your own dictionaries, typed in and switched on alongside the bundled ones • Speech recognition: what you said is kept per word, with your pace and a count of filler words • Practice history and a streak of consecutive days • The word and both timers on the lock screen, in a Live Activity • The full method, with diagrams and examples, right inside the app • Practice together: invite a partner by link — one speaks, the other listens, the word changes on a timer, with video between you; someone without the app can join from the browser • Ten languages — English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Turkish: interface, words and method text switch independently YOUR SPEECH STAYS WITH YOU No accounts and no server of ours: dictionaries and the method ship inside the app, and sessions, transcripts and settings are kept on your device alone. Speech recognition is done by the phone's own system — some languages on the device, the rest on its servers. The app collects anonymous usage statistics — how long a session ran and how many words it covered — never the words you say. When you practice together, video and audio travel directly between the two devices; our server only introduces them and records nothing. The verbal improvisation method was devised in 2014 and refined over hundreds of sessions since.
