This update provides important security fixes, user interface feature improvements, test experience updates, and is recommended for all learners. For information on the security content of SayIt app updates, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Description
Do you want to improve your English speaking, listening, pronunciation and vocabulary? The award-winning Say It: English Pronunciation makes pronunciation visual and interactive, so you no longer have to guess how to say a word in English. The free version includes 100 example words, covering all 44 sounds in standard English.
Say It is like a personal pronunciation teacher on your device! Includes British and American accent dictionaries (36,000+ entries each).
HOW IT WORKS
1. see the soundwave, syllables, and which are stressed (strong)
2. touch and drag to listen to the pronunciation slowly
3. tap the phonemes (IPA symbols, British/American English)
4. record your pronunciation, compare to the Oxford model
5. share your voice recording and soundwave directly from the app
6. regular notifications with pronunciation tips and suggested words to practise - please allow notifications in the app to receive these
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
In research at the University of the West of England, international students predominantly rated all features of Say It - range of vocabulary, phonetic alphabet blocks, stress markers, interactive soundwaves - as ‘very useful’. The majority of respondents agreed that using Say It over a longer period would enable them to:
* Perform better academically in English
* Increase their enjoyment of living in the UK and interacting with native-English speakers
Developed by our team of language teachers and pronunciation experts, Say It includes 70,000+ recordings from Oxford. The unique visual interface allows you to analyse the model audio and your recording, pinpointing difficult areas and improving quickly.

A TEACHER'S VIEWPOINT
“This is a fantastic learning tool for really getting students to work on the specific sounds in words as well as taking into account stress and intonation. The visualisation is a very useful way to illustrate areas that need more attention and can be practised again and again. As an ESL teacher, I have recommended it to all my students so that they can work on their pronunciation skills at home and have used it in class on many occasions.” Anna D, Bristol, UK
Say It offers large American and British English dictionaries - they can take a few minutes to download, depending on your WIFI access.
