Speak - Language Learning Reviews

Speak is good and useful. But there’s a significant problem that I encountered. I used to mirror screen from iPad to AppleTV. When I use this app this way, the video lesson’s video and audio has latency. After playing video for about 1 minute, the video is slower than its audio. This makes the actors mouth shape can’t match the audio, which is very painful for a language speaking app. I’ll change the score to 5 stars if this issue got fixed. Thanks!

As a working professional, I have been looking for such an app for a while, i want to use Speak to improve my English in a business professional environment, however Speak is more for daily usage and the dialog looks a bit simple to me when I first logged in. I think it’s good in general for beginner, but does your company has plan to make it work for complicated business use case like negotiation, presentation or daily meeting? I will pay for that. Thank you.

My app always show me Japanese.
I do want to learn Japanese, but all my UI’s text are Japanese.
Please fix it.

Speak is great. I wish there is a way to change font size. I subscribed to Speak so my grandma can learn English while she’s visiting me, but she can barely see the text in Speak .

As i live

I’m trying to learn English why is the entire app text in Korean? Do I need to learn Korean first?

You have the website and the AppStore text in English already

My mother tongue isn’t in their supporting languages for translation and I should choose a language that I don't understand. I don’t need translation and I can understand sentences. Please add English in your menu.

It seems like a very useful software, can’t wait to use.

Why i cant find and download your another application with red icon ?
Can you please add it to all apple store countries?

error often,the online customer service very bad

Please fix it

100% perfect

For some reason Speak isn’t in English.

1. 어려운단어를 발음못해 인식못하는건 그렇다하나 with, under같은 쉬운 발음조차 인식을 잘 못함

2. 문장을 들려주고 따라하라고 하면 따라할 시간은 어느정도 앞에 원어민이 했던 시간만큼은 줘야하지않나? 뒤에 몇개는 따라하기도 전에 끝나버림. 실제로 시간을 제보니 어떤 문장이 원어민이 한 3초하면 나에겐 발음을 시작하고나서 2초의 시간밖에 안주니 다 말하기도 전에 끝남. 겁나 빨리 얘기해야함

설정에서 어플 마이크, 개인정보보호 마이크 모두 허용했는데 음성인식을 못하였다고 합니다ㅜ

앱 사용하지 않는데 어제 알아서 결제됫어요
더 이상 안쓰는데 1년 결제 됫어요
환줄 안되나요?

Hi there,

I think Speak is really cool for practicing English speaking with AI. But there are a couple of things I'm not a fan of.

Firstly, I'm from Thailand and my main language is Thai, but Speak only lets me choose Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German as my native language.

Secondly, it's not actually free.

Just wanted to share my thoughts!

Thanks

Love the way the UI & UX looks

Nice app really has helped me

I just new member. Seem loook good

Helpful

It’s an amazing app, and it really help a lots

It prompt me “your purchase could not be completed”

Learned A lot

A little bit pricey. I dislike ads but a free version would be nice.

Something is off with my app . It doesn't show anything no lessons , no plans nothing.
Every time i get into it there's written "no lessons available now" .
Is here someone tell me what's going on?

Can’t select English as my native language.

When I log in, it starts in Chinese. How do I convert to English so I can fully understand all the commands to get going?

I opened Speak and it's in Spanish. I don't understand Spanish at all and my iPhone is in English.

It requires Korean phone number and such so it's not usable or user friendly. Everytime I input my contact information doesn't work. What sort of application is this????

*****

I was using Speak daily for almost two months straight just to open it one day and my subscription was no longer valid. I did not delete my account nor did I ask for it to be deleted. I paid the yearly subscription fee and did not get the full use from Speak. Other than a few errors here and there I was very happy using Speak even when I was told there wasn’t a timeframe for when the rest of my lesson plans would be available. I have emailed you all at two different email addresses as well as tried contacting you on social media. I would like to hear from someone as soon as possible because I am not happy with what’s going on with my account. I felt as if my confidence with speaking Spanish was improving daily because of the way Speak organized the lesson plans along with being able to free talk with the AI tutor. I need answers!!!!!!

I think I saw an ad on Instagram and it really stood out to me so I downloaded it. Before I was using Duolingo but became unmotivated. Speak is so fun and I feels good to actually this app the words you’re learning!!

I was saying things and said the word and it said I didn’t but I did

Makes it so much easier to learn languages

I’m going on a trip to Puerto Rico, and unfortunately my friends said I can’t this app like a no sabo. So Speak really helped me improve my accent and pronunciation

I like Speak so much more than the others. Much more interactive.

I can so much improvement already in my Spanish speaking!

I didn’t even have to start Speak to already see a problem. The only language they offer for you to take is Spanish? Wth

Honestly i love the concept of Speak and it is very helpful but it’s very inaccessible for a lot of people, i wish there was a free with add version atleast.

I contacted this app customer service twice and also contacted to apple itunes for their in-app purchase error. My problem was not solved so I gave up. Very disappointed with their system error.

i’ve tried for years to learn and i’ve learned more the past couple days than i have in years!!! AMAZING APP!

I love Speak because it doesn’t only tell you just some simple words. It puts the words into sentences, which helps you sound like a pretty fluent speaker just not all the way. I know a lot of people that use Speak and they also agree with me on how it helps them this app Spanish and when they travel, they definitely recommend using it especially because it’s going to offer more options than Spanish, because when I was first starting and was making an account. It had English Spanish and then the ones that weren’t made yet was like FrenchGerman Vietnamese Chinese and this is such a good app. I definitely recommend for anyone trying to learn a new language.

I have been learning Spanish for years. The things that always confused me are always cleared up in Speak. I always had an issue with understand Indirect and direct object pronouns and thanks to Speak I know how to understand them now.

The concept and execution are amazing. It really gets you speaking and thinking critically and quickly. I have reached out about a bug, however. When speaking, some of my corrections are written in english (my native language) instead of spanish. For example, if i say something like “no me gusta eso ya”, the correction feedback will tell me it sounds more natural to say it with ya in front. BUT the actual corrected phrase will say in english “i don’t like that anymore.” Instead of “ya no me gusta eso.” - which would be the corrected spanish phrase. So it’s hard to correct myself/learn from some mistakes.

I love the concept and the AI function is pretty good. But the timing in between questions and the time given to say a sentence is not consistent. As I move through my level, it is not detecting when the correct word is said, particularly for word “coma”. It’s a bit buggy for the price, IMO. I’m on the fence whether to subscribe. It’s good but not great.

Paid for a subscription for Spanish and now only half of the Spanish lessons are available. Says it’s coming soon but I’ve been waiting months for it. Emailed the help center about it because if it isn’t coming very soon, I want a refund.
For now my review will stay the same till something changes.

Exactly what I was looking for an interactive app that will help me practice what I already know and correct where I make mistakes!

Cheapest plan is $99 a year or $20 a month which is too much for me right now unfortunately. Wish I could keep using it to learn Spanish

I have to go through my bank and have a new debit card sent to me because I didn’t approve the transaction from this company. I tried the free trial and they charged me even after I cancelled it beforehand. I had the date marked in my reminders to cancel. I know when it was going to charge me! Don’t get my wrong this is a great app I really enjoyed it but why steal my money? Just don’t offer the free trial if your going to do that it’s greedy.

I’ve only been using it a couple days but this paired with Duolingo is great so far and is a real game changer imo

I did 100 days on duo, its greate for grammar and vocab. But it will be awile before i become conversational using that. Just did day one with this, i will pair the two together. But so far, this will definitely get me to being conversational faster/more effectively
