Speak is the world’s most advanced AI language tutor. You can easily become fluent in English by talking out loud and getting instant feedback. Speak tutor is available 24/7, take it with you anywhere you go and learn at your own pace. Practice speaking on any topic anytime and anywhere. You can build a relationship with your AI tutor. The app provides tailored curriculum based on your needs. For instance, if you interested in learning conversational English for travelling, the app will prompt you with phrases related to travelling. The app has gained over 5 million+ downloads and has a 4.8 rating.

Speak has raised funds from notable investors OpenAI and YC. Language learning technology has made strides in recent years, transitioning from desktop software to smartphone applications. However, these advancements haven’t addressed what we’ve found to be the fundamental issue: developing real-world speaking abilities. Their customer feedback consistently highlights a common experience – despite investing significant time studying English through various methods, they struggled with verbal communication until they began using Speak. Through a combination of a unique pedagogical approach and adaptive artificial intelligence that personalizes the experience to each learner’s specific needs, Speak has developed an innovative solution for helping people achieve spoken fluency. This technological breakthrough has made conversational mastery attainable for a much broader audience than ever before. The impact is evident in their metrics – their users have already produced over one billion spoken sentences this year alone. Looking ahead to 2025, Speak is planning an ambitious international expansion to make Speak available to learners across many new markets.
