Hey everyone I’ve spent the last month cooking up a lightweight iOS app that gives live feedback on pronunciation, intonation, and those pesky filler-words while you speak. I got more than 2,000 reviews with 4.8/5 which is the new record of myself among my 6 apps.

I also included public speaking lessons to practice with AI and I believe its a gamechanger.

Thanks for checking it out! Any thoughts, feature ideas, or pronunciation pain points you’d like solved? Drop them below—I’m all ears.

when the app corrects your accent, what's the meaning of "correct"? UK received pronunciation? US Midwestern? Something else?

For context I am an immigrant to Australia and most pronunciation apps try to teach me some type of US accent, which is not useful to me. My dream is an app where you can select "I want to learn accent [X]" before starting

+1 Exactly my thoughts. I am English and like everyone I have a certain accent. What I this context is meant to be "correct". Not King Charles I hope!
