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.

Sound clearer in English by copying how real speakers say it. Shadow Talk teaches pronunciation through shadowing: you listen to a short clip from a coach, say it back, and get instant feedback on what you did well and what to fix next. No lectures. Just listen, speak, improve. HOW IT WORKS 1. LISTEN. Hear a natural, clear recording from your coach. 2. RECORD. Say it back in your own voice. 3. ANALYSE. Get a Shadow Score from 0 to 100, with the exact words and sounds to work on. FEEDBACK THAT GOES BEYOND "TRY AGAIN" • A Shadow Score combining what you said, how each sound came out, and your rhythm • Sound-by-sound checking, so you can see which sounds need work, not just which words • Rhythm and pacing comparison against your coach • Short coaching tips for the trickiest American English sounds, like the flap T, the American R and vowel reduction • A clear "next rep" so you always know what to try next YOUR VOICE STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Recording, transcription and scoring all happen on your device. Your recordings are never uploaded or shared. Practice out loud anywhere without worrying who is listening. FOUR COACHES, FOUR VOICES Choose from Lucy, Mike, Marco or Brooke, all speaking American English. Switch any time. Your progress stays with you. REAL-WORLD ENGLISH Go beyond textbook phrases. Practise hundreds of sentences from everyday life, travel, work and study, from beginner (A1) up to upper-intermediate (B2). Order coffee, handle an interview, ask for directions, chat in a stand-up meeting. BUILD THE HABIT Daily streaks and gentle reminders keep you practising. Miss a day and you'll know exactly where to pick up. A LITTLE SETUP, THEN OFFLINE When you first open the app, a scoring pack downloads quietly in the background over Wi-Fi so your pronunciation can be checked without sending your voice anywhere. You can start practising straight away while it arrives. Each coach's first unit is included from the start, and extra coach voices download separately, so you only store the voices you actually use. FREE TO START Unit 1 is free with every coach. Unlock everything with a Shadow Talk+ subscription, or watch a short ad to open a unit for 2 hours.
