Voicely Language
Read full descriptionHide full description
If you've spent years on language apps and still freeze the moment you have to speak, it was never your fault. You were handed streaks, leaderboards, and cartoon owls. What you needed was training. Voicely is language fitness β not language learning. Fluency is a physical skill, like playing an instrument or lifting weights. You don't "learn" it by tapping the right answer. You train it. Every day. With a coach who hears what you're actually doing wrong and shows you how to fix it. WHY HAVEN'T THE OTHER APPS WORKED? Because they're built to keep you opening the app β not to make you fluent. β’ Streaks reward showing up, not improving β’ Leaderboards measure points, not speech β’ You can hit a 900-day streak and still not order a coffee abroad Voicely removes all of it. No streaks. No leaderboards. No dopamine loops. Only measurable progress toward the one thing you came for: speaking. CAN IT ACTUALLY HEAR ME? Yes β down to the individual sound. Most apps grade you pass or fail on a whole sentence. Voicely's coach, HEXI, listens at the phoneme level. It knows your French "r" isn't landing, names the exact sound, tells you where to place your tongue, has you try again, and confirms the moment you get it. Record your voice once and HEXI coaches you in your own cloned voice β the most familiar, least intimidating voice you'll ever practice with. HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM APPS THAT JUST WRAP ChatGPT? Under Voicely runs MAST β a genuine adaptive training algorithm, not a chatbot with a nice interface. It tracks your ability across four independent skills: β’ Pronunciation β’ Comprehension β’ Production β’ Retention It updates each one only when it has direct proof you earned it, then prescribes exactly what you need next. The AI delivers the coaching. The algorithm makes the decisions. That's the difference between an app that feels smart and one that actually is. WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW MY LEVEL? VOICECAST, our adaptive placement, maps your real level across all four skills in minutes β then computes a personalized program with a projected timeline to your goal, calibrated with the same language-distance research governments use to train diplomats. Not a guess. A projection you can hold us to. IS THE PROGRESS REAL, OR JUST FLATTERING? Voicely never inflates your numbers to keep you happy. A skill moves only when you've genuinely demonstrated it. Your Progress tab shows: β’ Your skill map across all four rings β’ Your sound map β every phoneme you've practiced, color-coded red to green β’ A live projection that sharpens with every session You see the truth, because the truth is what gets you fluent. WHAT IF LIFE GETS IN THE WAY? It will. When you disappear for a week, Voicely doesn't punish you or reset you to zero. It recognizes what faded, tells you honestly, and rebuilds you with a calibrated re-entry session. Reactivation is faster than starting over β and Voicely is built around that fact. WHAT DO I ACTUALLY GET? β’ Live conversation practice with an AI that adapts to your exact level β’ Pronunciation coaching with real phoneme-level feedback β’ 15+ training modes, unlocked as you grow β’ Dialect-specific training β QuΓ©bΓ©cois, not just "French" β’ Full experience in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian β’ 40+ languages to train WHY SHOULD I TRUST THIS? Every design decision is grounded in published second-language acquisition research β Krashen, DeKeyser, Nation, Skehan, Anderson β not marketing instinct. The science is in the structure. The AI is in the delivery. We published the framework so anyone can check our work. This app is the one built to make you fluent. Stop collecting streaks. Start building fluency.
Lanma

Lanma is the language-learning app that turns the videos and articles you already consume into vocabulary you can remember and use in conversation. BRING WHAT YOU ALREADY WATCH AND READ Share or paste a YouTube video. Add an article, blog post, news page, or Medium post. Choose your level and definition language, then let Lanma find useful words and expressions in context. For YouTube videos, Lanma recommends a manageable, level-matched selection while keeping more expressions available if you want them. Words you mark as already known are remembered, helping future videos surface more relevant vocabulary. MAKE THE WORDS STICK Review your vocabulary with: β’ Contextual flashcards β’ Multiple-choice quizzes β’ Fill-in-the-blank sentence practice β’ Pronunciation and sentence audio β’ Smart Review drills β’ Spaced repetition Lanma schedules each word around your progress. Difficult words return sooner; stronger words wait longer. SPEAK THE WORDS YOU SAVED Choose a word set, select up to 20 target words, and pick your level. Lanma creates a live roleplay around that vocabulary. Speak naturally, interrupt when you need to, and watch target words light up as you use them. You can open the live transcript during the conversation or type instead when speaking is not convenient. FINISH WITH USEFUL FEEDBACK After a conversation, see: β’ The sentences you produced β’ Target words you used or missed β’ Grammar, word-use, and context scores β’ Strengths and recurring error patterns β’ Personalized suggestions for your next attempt ONE CONNECTED LEARNING LOOP The vocabulary comes from content you care about. Review helps it stick. Talk turns it into language you can actually retrieve and use. Your word sets, review schedule, conversations, and progress stay together instead of disappearing after one AI chat. MORE WAYS TO LEARN β’ Import Anki .apkg, .colpkg, and .txt files β’ Generate vocabulary around any topic β’ Read AI stories built from weaker words β’ Create AI memory hooks β’ Track streaks, mastery, and upcoming reviews β’ Learn across 20 supported study languages β’ Study without ads on every plan WHY UPGRADE Free includes up to five word sets, unlimited standard study and quiz sessions, and monthly YouTube and website imports. Pro adds unlimited word sets, much higher import limits, Smart Review, and Talk. Premium is designed for frequent active practice, with substantially more Talk sessions, higher content limits, and AI Story Mode. Start free. Eligible learners can try Premium for seven days without a credit card. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
