About Speechling
Speechling is a pronunciation trainer: you listen to a native recording of a sentence, record yourself, and a human coach sends back notes on how you sound. The website and app are free, including some coach feedback; paid plans from $19.99 a month add unlimited coaching. It suits a learner at any level whose accent holds them back and who will record every day. It is set sentences, not conversation, so it will not teach you to think on your feet.
