Voqales vs Mimic

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.

Mimic is a private pronunciation studio for people learning American English. It turns speech into something you can see, compare, and improve—without an account and without sending recordings to a cloud scoring service. SEE HOW A SOUND IS MADE Every exercise includes a synchronized Articulation Mirror. Follow animated front and side views of the lips, teeth, jaw, palate, tongue, airflow, and voicing while the reference plays. COMPARE YOUR OWN TAKE Record a phrase and review your pitch, rhythm, timing, and delivery beside the reference. Mimic creates a conservative, voice-estimated mouth movement replay with an evidence-weighted accuracy score. Hidden tongue anatomy is never presented as directly observed. PRACTICE WHAT MATTERS TO YOU Choose your first-language background and work through focused sound contrasts, word stress, connected speech, and practical phrases. A daily plan and spaced review help difficult sounds return at the right time.
