Read full description

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. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account or sign-in • No advertising or tracking SDKs • Analysis happens on your device • Recordings remain on your device • Delete local learning data from Settings REFERENCE VOICES THAT STAY CONSISTENT Reviewed studio reference clips are bundled for instant, offline playback. If a clip is unavailable, Mimic selects the best enhanced English voice installed on your device. MIMIC PRO Optional Mimic Pro unlocks the complete curriculum and advanced practice. Choose monthly billing or an annual plan with a 7-day trial for eligible Apple IDs. Continue using the free plan at any time.
