I've been using an application called BoldVoice for 2–3 months. Its purpose is to help improve accent and pronunciation. It displays words and sentences that you have to record, and AI rates your pronunciation. It gives you a percentage score on how well you did, highlights what you pronounced correctly, and shows what you didn’t pronounce correctly. It also has an AI chat feature where you can talk about different topics with AI. Additionally, it has pronunciation tutorials that focus on how to pronounce sounds correctly.

One of my friends showed me a website that guesses your accent, and it identified my Hungarian heritage perfectly. After trying it, I realized that it also has a mobile app that teaches correct pronunciation.

I find it generally useful—it really teaches you how to pronounce things correctly.

However, there are some things it lacks:

• It corrects your sounds, but it doesn't enforce correct word and sentence stress or connected speech usage. It shows where the stress is and highlights some connected speech patterns, but if you ignore them and just pronounce the sounds, it will still accept your recording. The only way it enforces these practices is by encouraging the use of weak forms and showing where the connected sounds are.

• It lacks content and variety for long-term usage. I've been using it for two months, but it already feels repetitive at times.
• The video tutorials focus mainly on sounds, but they could also cover other important aspects, such as word and sentence stress and connected speech.

Overall, even though it's not perfect, I find it the most useful mobile app for language learning I've ever tried.

It has a 7-day free trial, and I recommend trying it.
