My scripts · Your own text

Practice the words
you’ll actually say.

Paste an interview answer, the start of a talk, or your Monday update. Ekavo turns it into short sections with coach audio, so you rehearse what matters this week.

  1. 01

    Words to watch

    Before your first take, see the words in your text that speakers of your first language often find tricky, and what to listen for.

  2. 02

    Section by section

    Hear the coach read each part, record your own, and get the same sound-by-sound feedback as every other exercise.

  3. 03

    Straight through

    When it feels steady, read the whole thing the way you will on the day. Add the date, and Ekavo suggests what to practice as it gets closer.

A closer look

Hear the difference.
See it, too.

A score is only a starting point.
Ekavo helps you understand what to try next.

01 Sound by sound

Know what to work on.

Look inside a word to see which sounds need attention. One take can show that a single sound is holding a word back.

Sentence result for “The team is ready to present the results to stakeholders.” The word “results” is open, with its /r/ scored 78 and marked for attention.

02 Focused practice

Work on one word at a time.

Take a word into its own drill. Each take is scored against your recent ones, so you can see when a change starts to hold.

Word practice for “results”: the latest take scores 97.6, up 5.9 on recent takes, with the note that nothing held this take back.

03 Practice in conversation

Rehearse real conversations.

Step into short everyday conversations. The other person speaks, you say your line, and you get feedback on the sound you’re working on.

Guided roleplay at a hotel front desk. The receptionist asks how they can help, and your line, “Good morning. I am sorry, but my room is very noisy near the street,” has each /r/ underlined, with a Coach button to hear it first.

Built around your beginnings

Your first language.
Your starting point.

The English sounds you find familiar, and the ones that take practice, have a history. Ekavo uses your first language as a starting point, then learns from your speech.

A starting point, never a label. Your own recordings shape your plan.

FAQ

A few things
you might wonder.

Will this erase my accent?

No, and we wouldn't want it to. Ekavo works on being understood: the specific sounds and sentence melody that cause listeners to mishear you. Everything else about how you speak is yours.

Who is Ekavo for?

Adults who already use English and want to be understood more easily: at work, in interviews, in class, or day to day. Ekavo coaches American English and starts from your first language, with a tailored starting point for 34 of them. If yours isn't one yet, practice personalizes from your recordings.

I'm a beginner. Is Ekavo for me?

If you can read and follow English but rarely speak it, yes. Choose the Beginner level when you start, and you'll get guided conversations written for that level. Ekavo doesn't teach English from scratch: every exercise asks you to read a line aloud.

Can I practice my own words?

Yes. With My scripts, you paste what you plan to say, like an interview answer or the start of a talk, up to 1,500 characters. Before your first take, Ekavo lists the words to watch for your first language. Then you practice section by section with coach audio, and read it straight through when you're ready.

How is Ekavo different?

It starts from your first language, so practice begins with the sounds most likely to matter for you, then follows your own recordings. Feedback goes down to individual sounds, with mouth diagrams that show how to make each one, and sentence melody, so you hear the rhythm and not just the words.

What happens to my voice recordings?

Each recording is sent securely to be scored, then discarded. We keep your scores, not your voice, and we never use your audio to train AI models. The app keeps a temporary copy on your phone so you can replay your take; it is deleted when you record again or leave the screen. You can delete your account and your practice data from inside the app.

What platforms?

iOS and Android, launching soon. Scoring needs a connection; the sound library and diagrams work offline.

Keep what makes you, you.

Your voice.
More clearly heard.

Your accent is part of your story. Ekavo helps you practice the sounds and rhythms that make you easier to understand, while keeping your voice your own.
