Speaky IELTS

Features
Read full description

Speaky is IELTS Speaking practice built around the real exam โ€” not generic prompts. REAL EXAM FORMAT Practice with 295+ real Speaking questions across Part 1 (interview), Part 2 (cue card long turn), and Part 3 (two-way discussion) โ€” organized exactly like the real test, or spin the wheel and let Speaky pick a random question for you. TIMED LIKE THE REAL TEST Take your 1-minute Part 2 prep, speak for up to 2 minutes, then roll straight into Part 3 follow-up questions โ€” or run a full mock exam, Part 1 through Part 3, back to back, just like exam day. EVERY ANSWER RECORDED Speaky records the moment you start talking so you can play every answer back, hear your own hesitations and fillers, and watch yourself improve over time. Track your daily streak and how many topics you've covered. AI-POWERED FEEDBACK (OPTIONAL) Want a second opinion? Spend tokens to have any recorded answer transcribed and scored across the three official IELTS Speaking criteria โ€” Fluency & Coherence, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range โ€” with specific, encouraging feedback you can act on. Full mock exams get one holistic score across all three parts. WORKS OFFLINE The question bank downloads once and is cached on your device, so you can keep practicing on a flight, on the metro, or anywhere without a connection. FREE TO PRACTICE Every question, the Spin feature, and practicing itself are completely free โ€” no account or purchase required. Optional token packs (no subscription, nothing auto-renews) unlock AI evaluation, transcription, full mock exams, and sample answer reveals. Speaky is an independent, unofficial exam-preparation tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to IDP Education, the British Council, Cambridge Assessment English, or the official IELTS test.
