What is Spoken?
Spoken is a language learning app designed for intermediate and above learners who want to improve their speaking skills. Rather than focusing on grammar drills or vocabulary quizzes, Spoken emphasizes real-life practice. Each day, users are presented with a new topic and have 10 seconds to start speaking. They then talk for one minute while the AI evaluates whether they stayed on topic.
The app provides clear corrections for grammar and vocabulary mistakes, making it easy to understand what went wrong. Users can also listen to recordings of real native speakers—not AI voices—and read along with transcripts. This helps learners get accustomed to natural speech patterns and accents. Spoken is available on iPhone and Android, and is founded by a qualified language teacher.
