SpeakTune helps fluent Mandarin and Cantonese speakers practice the last mile of natural English: sentence melody, rhythm, stress, endings, pitch contour, and voice ease. If people understand your words but your English still feels flat, tense, uncertain, or not fully natural, SpeakTune gives you focused practice with immediate feedback. How it works: Listen to a natural reference sentence. Record yourself saying the same sentence. Compare your pitch contour with the reference. Get feedback on sentence endings, voice tension, and the biggest mismatch. Try again with one clear next step. SpeakTune is not a beginner pronunciation app. It is built for people who already speak English and want to sound more natural in meetings, interviews, calls, and daily conversation. The current version includes sentence-level practice, reference voices, visual pitch feedback, progress tracking, and optional premium access for unlimited practice.

See your vowels as you speak and get a score on every word. Voqales shows where each vowel you say lands on a vowel chart, live, while you talk. Pick a word, record it, and see how close you were, which vowel was off, and what to change: "open your mouth more", "round your lips". It's like having a phonetics lab in your pocket, with feedback that's easy to follow. PRACTICE • Live feedback: a dot follows your vowel in real time. Steer it into the ring. • A score for every vowel in the word, with a tip for the weakest one. • Over 300 everyday words with a reference voice to listen to and compare against. • Look up any word to see and hear how it's pronounced, with IPA. • Hold-the-sound practice for each vowel, with live coaching. • Progress tracking: see each sound improve over time. UNDERSTAND • A vowel chart fitted to your own voice, so higher and lower voices are judged fairly. • Diphthongs, like the "i" in "time", shown as a glide from start to end. • A clear spectrogram of every recording. Tap a vowel to hear it on its own, and adjust its markers if needed. • A built-in guide that explains the chart, the spectrogram and your score. ANALYZE • Real-time spectrogram while you record. • Playback, scrubbing, zoom and selection tools. • Import and save recordings. • 2D and 3D vowel space views. Great for English learners working on their accent, linguistics and phonetics students, singers, and anyone curious about how speech works. Your recordings and progress stay on your device. No account needed.

Verdict
