Record & coach ā get AI feedback AI COACHING THAT HEARS THE DETAILS Record your take and get instant, specific feedback: a reproduction rate, pronunciation scores, and one clear tip ā with a model pronunciation to copy. MATERIALS MADE JUST FOR YOU Chat with the AI about what you want to practice ā a meeting, a trip, an interview ā and get an original script with audio in about 30 seconds. Or start from the built-in starter pack. MAKE IT A HABIT Streaks, daily quests, a friendly buddy, and a progress dashboard that shows your scores climbing. Adjustable playback speed grows with you.
