Speakcy

You understand English.Now say it out loud.

Speakcy matches you with another learner for a live 1:1 voice call. No scripts, no teachers, no recordings. Just a real conversation, whenever you’re ready to talk.

Coming soon to Google Play. Join the closed test to try it first.

The Speakcy home screen. A 1:1 call card with a Start speaking button sits above a weekly streak tracker, with Speak, People, Leaderboard and Profile tabs along the bottom.

Knowing English and speaking it are different skills.

You read it, you follow films in it, maybe you passed exams in it. Then someone asks you a question out loud, and the sentence you know perfectly well won’t come.

More vocabulary doesn’t close that gap. Speaking does: out loud, with another person, often enough that it stops feeling like a test.

Practice starts with one tap.

How Speakcy works, in detail
  1. Step 1: Tap.

    Open Speakcy and tap Start speaking. You practise in the language you chose when you joined: English, or Japanese.

  2. Step 2: Match.

    Speakcy looks for another learner who is free to talk right now. Searching runs for a couple of minutes. Mornings and evenings are busiest.

  3. Step 3: Talk.

    You're connected on a live 1:1 voice call. When it ends, rate the call, ask to add your partner, or report a problem.

A live Speakcy call. The partner's initials and their level, Advanced, sit above a voice level meter and a 00:47 call timer, with Mute, End and Earpiece buttons.

One person. One conversation. No audience.

Speakcy calls are 1:1 voice only, with no camera and no group. It’s the calmest way to practise the thing that matters most: saying what you mean, out loud, to someone listening.

Live, never recorded
Calls happen in real time and are never recorded or stored. What you say stays in the conversation.
Matched by language
You're paired with someone practising the same language as you, so both of you are there for the same reason.
Your level, shown up front
Your partner sees your comfort level, from Beginner to Advanced, so they know where you're starting from.

Make speaking a daily habit.

Pick a daily goal when you join. Speakcy counts every minute you spend on a connected call, keeps your streak going on the days you meet it, and shows your week at a glance.

Daily goals you can choose

  • 5min

    Getting started

    A short conversation on most days.

  • 10min

    Steady

    One proper conversation a day.

  • 15min

    Serious

    Enough to hear yourself improve.

  • 30min

    All in

    For when you want to move quickly.

Only time on a connected call counts toward your goal, and you can change your goal at any time in the app.

Found someone easy to talk to? Keep talking.

Most calls are with someone new. Some are with a person you’d happily speak to again, and Speakcy keeps a place for them.

  1. Ask after the call

    When a call ends, you can send your partner a request. If they accept, you're partners.

  2. Find them in People

    Your partners and any requests waiting for you live together in the People tab.

  3. Message, then speak again

    Send a message, or start another call with the same person whenever you're both free.

Every minute you speak moves you up.

Each full minute on a call earns 5 XP, and the ratings your partners give you count too. Climb from Bronze to Diamond, and see where you stand on a leaderboard that starts fresh every Monday.

  1. Bronze

Practice works best when it feels safe.

Speaking with a stranger takes nerve. These are the rules and tools that are in place for every call.

  • 13 and over

    Everyone gives their date of birth when they join. Speakcy is only for people aged 13 and over.

  • Report from any call

    After a call, you can report the other person for inappropriate behaviour, harassment or hate speech, spam or scam, or something else.

  • Nothing is recorded

    Calls are live only. Speakcy never records or stores what is said on a call.

  • You decide who stays

    Partners are people you've spoken with and both agreed to add. You can remove a partner at any time.
