Getting started

Can I use Speakcy now?

Speakcy is in a closed test on Google Play before its public launch. Join the closed test with the email address of the Google account on your Android phone, and we’ll invite you.

Which languages can I practise?

English and Japanese. You choose one when you join, and you're matched with people practising the same language.

How do I sign up?

Sign in with your Google account, then answer a few short questions: your name and gender, date of birth, a username, the language you're practising, your comfort level and a daily goal.

Is there a minimum age?

Yes. Speakcy is only for people aged 13 and over.

Using Speakcy

How do I start a conversation?

Tap Speak on the home screen. We match you with another learner who is ready to talk right now, and the call starts as soon as you both connect.

What if nobody is available?

Searching keeps running for a couple of minutes. If it finds no one, try again at a busier hour — early morning and evening have the most people online.

How do partners work?

After a call you can add the person as a partner. Partners show up in People, so you can message them and speak with the same person again.

How are my minutes counted?

Only time spent on a connected call counts. Progress shows your minutes per day against your daily goal, which you can change from the Streak screen.

Safety and your account

Are calls recorded?

No. Calls are live only. Speakcy never records, stores or transcribes what is said.

How do I report someone?

When a call ends, choose to report the other person and pick a reason. You can also raise a concern through the contact form. Read the community guidelines.

How do I delete my account?

In the app, open Settings and tap Delete my account. See what gets deleted, or how to ask without the app.
