Speak

Speak, made by Speakeasy Labs, Inc. and backed by the OpenAI Startup Fund with a formal OpenAI partnership, is an AI-powered language learning application designed to help users achieve spoken fluency by emphasizing practical conversation skills rather than grammar drills or vocabulary memorization. It uses the proprietary Speak Method, a three-step framework: Learn, where users acquire phrases native speakers actually use in real situations; Practice, where patterns are repeated across contexts until automatic; and Apply, where users engage in real back-and-forth conversations with an AI tutor. Speak includes real-time pronunciation feedback, personalized lesson generation, progress tracking, and custom review based on individual mistakes. English speakers can learn Spanish, French, Korean, Japanese, Italian, and Simplified Chinese, and the app is also used globally by non-English speakers learning English. It has been downloaded more than 15 million times with a 4.8-star app store rating. Pricing is freemium: a 7-day free trial is available, followed by Premium and Premium Plus subscription tiers with pricing varying by region and cancellable anytime with no long-term lock-in.
