Completely free to use. No subscription. Your AI Pronunciation Coach Think of Say Aloud as a speech coach who never gets tired. Our AI listens to every word you say and shows you, in real time, how your pronunciation compares to a native speaker not just "good or bad," but which specific sound went wrong. You'll see your problem areas highlighted and get targeted drills to fix them, fast. See Every Sound. Master Every Phoneme. Most apps just tell you if you're right or wrong. We show you why. With phoneme-level analysis, you can see exactly how your tongue, lips, and breath are shaping each sound from tricky vowels like "ship" vs. "sheep" to those consonant clusters that always trip you up. What You'll Practice Tongue Twisters - Train tricky sounds with classics like "Red lorry, yellow lorry" and "She sells seashells by the seashore." Vowel Drills - Master short vs. long vowel contrasts so your mouth learns clearer targets. Shadow & Repeat - Copy native pacing and stress, then record your own version to compare. Custom Phrases - Add the words and sentences you struggle with most, and drill them until they stick. Your Path to Clearer Speech Progress happens one step at a time. Our structured levels guide you from basic sounds to advanced fluency - like climbing stairs, you always know what to work on next. Compare your voice waveform side-by-side with the model audio to track your improvement visually. What's New?? Smarter scoring: More accurate feedback on every word you speak. Why you need it? You speak, people ask you to repeat. Sound familiar? Your mouth knows what it wants to say, but the sounds come out wrong. Say Aloud fixes that not with boring theory, but by showing you exactly what your mouth is doing, sound by sound, like an X-ray for your speech. Build your own practice: Now you can create and save custom phrases. Friendlier for language learners: Cleaner interface and better support for non-native speakers. Stop being asked to repeat yourself. Start speaking clearly - today. More at say-aloud.com Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

GPLearning is a pronunciation-first English coach that listens to how you speak and scores you in real time. Built for learners who can read English but freeze when it’s time to talk, every lesson is designed around your voice, not multiple-choice taps. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Speak, don’t tap. Every drill asks you to say the word or sentence out loud. Apple’s on-device speech recognition compares what you said to the target and gives you a live score. • Works offline. Speech recognition happens entirely on your iPhone — no audio leaves your device, no account required, no subscription gates. • Vietnamese translations baked in. Every word and sentence shows its Vietnamese meaning, so you understand what you’re saying as you say it. 10 REAL-LIFE TOPICS Greetings · Food · Travel · Hotel · Hospital · Workplace · Supermarket · Anatomy · Pronunciation drills · Minimal pairs Each topic has three levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) and three lesson formats: 1. Speak the Word — build vocabulary by saying single words and getting an accuracy score. 2. Repeat After Me — practice full sentences with proper rhythm and stress. 3. Conversation — play one role in a realistic dialogue (ordering food, checking into a hotel, talking to a doctor, negotiating a deal). The app handles the other speaker’s lines while you respond aloud. WHY YOUR ENGLISH WILL SOUND BETTER • Targeted pronunciation modules for tricky sounds (th, r/l, ship/sheep, vowel length). • Minimal-pairs trainer to fix the small mistakes Vietnamese speakers most often miss. • 50 items per intermediate and advanced lesson, so a single category gives you hundreds of speaking reps. PRIVACY YOU CAN ACTUALLY VERIFY • On-device speech recognition — your microphone audio is never sent to a server. • No analytics, no ads, no tracking, no sign-up. • No account, no email, no password. WHO IT’S FOR • Vietnamese learners of English at any level. • ESL students who can read but want to sound more natural. • Travelers, healthcare workers, hotel staff, and anyone preparing for real conversations in English. • Self-learners who want speaking practice without paying for a tutor. GET STARTED Pick a topic. Tap a lesson. Tap the mic. Say the word. See your score. Repeat. That’s the whole loop — and that’s how speaking actually improves. Questions or feedback? We read every message.
