Speak is an AI language tutor focused on speaking fluency, giving instant pronunciation feedback and open-ended conversation practice.
Speak is designed around the hardest part of language learning: talking. Its AI tutor engages learners in realistic spoken conversations and evaluates pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary in real time, offering corrections that learners can immediately apply. Lessons build toward practical scenarios such as job interviews, travel, and daily small talk, and the fluency scoring system tracks speaking progress over time. Backed by OpenAI, Speak’s conversation engine handles natural follow-up questions rather than scripted dialogues. The product is built around the insight that speaking confidence comes from volume of practice, not grammar study. Feedback is immediate but encouraging, and lesson themes map to situations learners actually face abroad. Progress metrics make fluency improvement visible, which sustains motivation over months.
Speak is a paid subscription with a free trial that includes a set of speaking lessons. Monthly and annual plans unlock unlimited conversation practice and full feedback features; family and team plans are available at discounted rates. Annual plans are the best value, and promotional pricing is common for new subscribers committing to a year.
Speak is for learners who understand grammar but freeze when speaking, particularly professionals preparing for work or life in another language. Immigrants and international professionals preparing for work in English are a primary audience.
Speak offers a free trial with limited lessons; ongoing unlimited practice requires a paid subscription. The free trial provides enough speaking time to judge the feedback quality honestly.
Speak is a consumer learning app without a public API; its speech evaluation is used inside the app. Speak is a focused application rather than a platform with third-party developer access.
Speak focuses on open conversation fluency, while ELSA Speak drills pronunciation accuracy and Duolingo emphasizes gamified breadth. Speak prioritizes conversation volume; ELSA prioritizes pronunciation accuracy; both beat general apps for speaking gains.
