Hi!
My name is Igor, I am the only developer of SpeakFit.
I am originally from Ukraine, where I did not have regular English practice.
This made me insecure about my English, so I subconsciously avoided calls and meetings with English-speaking people and lost a lot of opportunities because of this. The last minutes before such calls were so stressful, I felt I wanted to vanish into thin air.
You can study a language for years, go through the whole Duolingo, easily understand YouTube videos, but have a spoken level of 1-2 tiers lower. Yes, it's useful to know how to tell the waiter that your soup is too salty. But what about making meaningful connections with people? Change others’ minds with a sharp speech? Make advancements in the career?
The difficulty of improvement at high levels of language is so popular that it even has its own name “Intermediate Plateau”. So I made a SpeakFit specifically for people who have the same problem of Intermediate Plateau.
After making several iterations and polishing from the feedback of about 1,000 users, I am happy to introduce the product to the public!
**How it works**
🤖 Listen to the debatable topic from the bot
🗣️ Press the record and tell your opinion
💡 SpeakFit will show you how to make your answer better
**Features**
Precise NOT real-time voice recognition
You can speak slowly, take pauses to think, and feel secure knowing that your speech will be recognized correctly.
New fresh topics every day
The bot uses interesting facts to start the conversation, which is updated every day. So you'll find it interesting to open the app in a month or six months from now.
Pro tip: You’ll have an interesting fact in your pocket for small talks with people.
Two types of corrections
SpeakFit can highlight only basic errors (like Grammarly), or tell you how to rephrase your speech to make it sound more native (like DeepL). GPT4 model is used for maximum quality.
Engaging training Structure
Speaking practice is divided into chunks of 3 questions requiring only 3-5 minutes to complete. Have an exercise when it's convenient. Gain stars for passing milestones, and feel the power of gamification.
Advanced Phrases Practice
Your goal is to embed the phrases from the list into your answers. The service shows them in random order. When the phrase is used 3 times - it is considered learned. So you will learn not to remember the translation when you see the phrase, but use them in active speech, which are quite different things.
**Deal**
Anyway, if you try the product, I'd love to hear what you think
And if you decide to upgrade to premium, the code PRODUCTHUNT will give you 20% off
The premium tier includes:
- Unlimited speaking minutes / phrases to practice / improvements
- Playbacks of your voice recordings
- AI playbacks for pronunciation practice
Thank you for reading to the end of this post.
If you have that kind of patience, the app will definitely help you overcome your intermediate plateau!
