Speak & Listen

Use your smartphone to improve diction and phonetics of your speech

Have you ever listened to a recording with your voice and noticed how it sounds different from what you expect?

When you hear your voice on a recording, you're only hearing sounds transmitted via air conduction. Since you're missing the part of the sound that comes from bone conduction within the head, your voice sounds different to you on a recording. But guess what? The recording doesn't lie, that IS you!

This app allows you to hear your "real" voice and compare it with a sample reference; which can be an additional microphone recording, an audio file or a text translated into the language you need by the provided Text To Speech function.

You just need to speak and listen again until the result is satisfactory. The app features a set of simple but powerful tools that will help you in improving the diction and phonetics of your speech. if you want to achieve perfect pronunciation, all you have to do is speak & compare your real voice (played by the app) with that of a native speaker, until you are able to reproduce the same sound. This type of training will allow you to achieve excellent results either in your native language or in any other foreign language you wish to practice.
