Read full descriptionHide full description
Learning a language is one thing. Using it when you actually need it is another. Maybe you need to prepare for a job interview, make an important phone call, talk to a doctor, join a meeting, travel somewhere new, or simply feel more confident in everyday conversation. Lumio gives you speaking practice built around the situations that matter to you. Choose what you need to prepare for, describe your situation, and practise the conversation with Lumio before it happens. Instead of following only fixed lessons, you practise language in the context of your own life โ with the vocabulary and conversations you are likely to need. With Lumio you can: โข practise speaking around your own goals and situations โข prepare for specific conversations and events โข practise vocabulary in the context where you will actually use it โข become more comfortable speaking spontaneously โข save useful phrases from your practice โข review them later with learning cards Lumio also includes Live Assistant mode for moments when you need help understanding, translating or communicating in real time. Your language practice shouldnโt be one-size-fits-all. Practise the conversations that fit your life and what you need next.

SpeakRounds

OET Speaking is scored on how you talk to a patient, not on what you know. Reading about it will not build that. Speaking will. SpeakRounds gives you a patient who talks back. Record your answer, hear the patient react, and finish a five-minute round. Then see the moments that cost you marks, quoted in your own words, each with a stronger version you can say again right away. Key features: - 16 original OET Nursing-style scenarios; - optional text replies when you cannot speak; - responsive AI patients with controlled case facts; - qualitative feedback across nine published Speaking criteria for voice practice; - content and communication feedback for text practice, without pronunciation or fluency assessment; - evidence-linked practice moments taken from your own round; - actual targeted retry and side-by-side transcript review; - separate app and feedback languages across ten supported languages; - accessible reduced-motion and screen-reader behavior. SpeakRounds is an independent educational tool. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by OET. AI feedback is a practice estimate for one role-play, not an official score, clinical advice, or a pass prediction. Never enter real patient information.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Lumio at none against SpeakRounds's shown. SpeakRounds's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
