What we specialise in
Our editorial focus is AI driven speaking practice: apps where a learner talks to a voice or text tutor and receives corrections. We currently track 105 apps and publish in five languages (English, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Italian).
| Pillar | What we measure |
|---|---|
| Speech Recognition | Speech engine responsiveness, accent tolerance and pronunciation feedback accuracy. |
| Feedback Quality | Depth and correctness of conversational grammar corrections. |
| Scenario Realism | Situational realism, conversational variety and avatar response times. |
| Value | Features against price, free tier limits and subscription flexibility. |
The full rubric is documented on our methodology page.
