Saycent vs SmartReader

Saycent is a pronunciation and accent coach for English, Spanish and French. Say a word or a sentence and see it coloured sound by sound, with the sound we heard when one slips. Every score is strict and computed on your phone. Works offline after a one-time download (about 356 MB, Wi-Fi recommended). No account, and your voice is never uploaded. SEE AND HEAR WHAT YOU SAID • Your word coloured sound by sound, with a score for every sound (phoneme) • "What we heard": when one sound clearly comes out as another, Saycent can name it, for example /s/ instead of /θ/, with a mouth-position tip and a next step • Play back your own take, then hear the coach at normal speed or slowed down • Tips matched to your native language (14 languages) • Sounds shown in IPA, with an American or British reference voice TRAIN YOUR EARS A 1-minute listening drill: hear one word of a pair like think/sink or ship/sheep and pick the one you heard. No mic needed, and it works while the speech model is still downloading. EXAM-STYLE SPEAKING PRACTICE (ENGLISH) Read a passage aloud, or listen to a sentence and repeat it. You get a pronunciation score plus feedback on your pace, your pauses and how quickly you start speaking. Set your test date and a short checkpoint read shows how you are tracking. These are practice measurements, not official exam scores. PRACTISE YOUR OWN WORDS • Your own text: paste a script, a speech, a job-interview answer or names you need to get right, and practise it sentence by sentence • Word lists: paste a list from your teacher (up to 20 words) and drill one word per card • Phone & spelling: letters, numbers and call phrases that get misheard on the phone • Words you missed come back later for review • Send to my teacher: after a session, share a short report (image or text) with your words, best scores and the sound to work on. No audio is included. STRICT, NOT FLATTERING Saycent's scores are strict on purpose. It would rather flag a sound you can still improve than hand out a flattering 95%. Treat a red sound as "practise this", not as a verdict. Over 12,000 more words can now be scored. STAY CONSISTENT A daily streak with rest days (earn one for every 7 practice days), XP, and a progress view of your weakest sounds. Reach a streak milestone or fix a sound and you can earn a free Premium pass for 1 to 3 days.
