English pronunciation training for second-language speakers
Speakz is aimed at people who speak English as a second language and need to be understood the first time, whether at work, in a presentation or in everyday conversation. You say a sentence, and the app gives feedback on your pronunciation, pace and clarity.
The English exercises are written for English learners, not translated from the German material. The Voice Lab holds most of them. If the app is set to English, the exercises start in English, and a flag control switches between English and German content. The pronunciation analysis adjusts to whichever language is in use.
Drills for the sounds that mark an accent
SpeakUp works on the sounds English learners usually find hardest: TH, R and L, V and W, and vowel length. Word duels pair words that differ by a single sound, so the difference is something you hear and produce. Sound training and syllable training break words down further.
Tempo and emphasis training covers pace and which word carries the stress in a phrase. Each exercise comes with audio examples in a male and a female voice, so you can hear the target before you record your own attempt.
Articulation, improvisation and breathing practice
The articulation check runs tongue twisters, poems, and everyday and professional sentences. It is free to use every day. The rest of the content is unlocked through a subscription.
Story improvisation has you speak without a script. A Stronger Words quiz and a breathing trainer complete the Voice Lab set.
Feedback, progress and finding exercises
The app offers personal assessments and feedback functions. Streaks and a progress display show how regularly you have practised. A recording function is also included.
To move around the library, you can search exercises, use a problem finder, and keep favourites lists of the ones you return to.
German speech courses, Coach+ and the Max training
Speakz began as a German speech training app, and it still carries that library. The German courses cover breathing, articulation, body language, rhetoric and voice care, with more than 450 exercises. They are voiced by experienced German professionals from TV, radio and speech therapy. A free German course bundle lets you try them before paying.
The Coach+ courses are trainings from media professionals for advertising, documentaries, podcasts and station voice. The Max subscription adds Training for Voice and Speech, five exercises in German for when your speaking has changed, developed with Prof. Dr. Kerstin Bilda and Steffen Glückselig at Hochschule Bochum. Clear English, a course of 110 English exercises, is included with the Pro subscription. The catch is that the full content is unlocked by subscription, and the free parts are the daily articulation check and the German bundle.
