Update: New features added!

  • Not just dictation anymore. Learners can now learn and practice with a variety of new tools including: listening comprehension, multiple choice, fill in the blank, and flashcards.ย It's all available for free without login. All of these features are fully available on the mobile app.
  • The available content available for learners has more than tripled.
  • There's now an entirely offline module available for premium users. Users can download a huge chunk of our sentence collection (~10k sentences), with access to our audio books and Anki decks too.

Update 2: UI upgraded

  • We removed the 7 day free trial because of abuse. Still, the free version gives you up to 35 free recordings a month and otherwise the same features, so I'm not sure how much value a free trial adds.
  • Updated the UI (screenshots in this review are updated accordingly.)
  • We have also added awards and badges that you can earn as you progress.
  • Italian and Japanese are now live!

Update 3: New languages added!

  • Portuguese (Brazilian) and Korean are now available on Speechling.
  • Even more content has been added to the curriculum with levels covering Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert.
  • There are now more than 10,000 male and female sentences for each language.
  • Mouse over hintsย provide pronunciation tips and definitions for words resulting in a more interactive experience.
