Pronunciation & accent coach for English, French & Spanish. Offline, private
Read full description
Saycent is a pronunciation and accent coach for English, Spanish and French. Say a word or a sentence and see it colored sound by sound, with the sound we heard when one slips. Scores are strict, not flattering, and computed on your phone.
Works offline after a one-time download (about 356 MB; Wi-Fi recommended). No account, and your voice is never uploaded.
SEE AND HEAR WHAT YOU SAID
• Your word colored sound by sound, with a score for every sound (phoneme)
• "What we heard": when one sound clearly comes out as another, Saycent can name it, for example /s/ instead of /θ/, with a mouth-position tip and a next step
• Play back your own take, then hear the coach at normal speed or slowed down
• English pronunciation tips matched to your native language (14 languages)
• Sounds shown in IPA, with an American or British reference voice
TRAIN YOUR EARS
A 1-minute listening drill: hear one word of a minimal pair like think/sink or ship/sheep and pick the one you heard. No mic needed, and it works while the speech model is still downloading.
EXAM-STYLE SPEAKING PRACTICE (ENGLISH)
Read a passage aloud, or listen to a sentence and repeat it. You get an English pronunciation score plus feedback on your pace, and your pauses. These are practice measurements, not official exam scores.
PRACTICE YOUR OWN WORDS
• Your own text: paste a script, a speech, a job-interview answer or names you need to get right, and practice it sentence by sentence
• Word lists: paste a list from your teacher (up to 20 words) and drill one word per card
• Phone & spelling: letters, numbers and call phrases that get misheard on the phone
• Words you missed come back later for review
• Send to my teacher: after a session, share a short report (image or text) with your words, best scores and the sound to work on. No audio is included.
STRICT, NOT FLATTERING
Saycent's scores are strict on purpose. It would rather flag a sound you can still improve than hand out a flattering 95%. Use it as a pronunciation checker, or as a quick pronunciation test before a call, a class or an exam. Over 12,000 more words can now be scored.
OFFLINE PRONUNCIATION PRACTICE
Every score is computed on your device, so your accent training works on the subway or a plane. Your recordings are not uploaded, stored by us, or used to train anything.
