Here's why we won't promise our users that they will speak like natives:
According to current research, most non-native adult speakers never reach this level and it would therefore be a false promise to many users. 1/2
It may be discouraging for language learners if this was their primary goal. Rather, it is important to focus on the comprehensibility of speech. This decreases communication barriers, while a subtle foreign accent can remain a positive identity marker. 2/2
We wish you all a Happy New Year!
We're excited to announce that we received the EXIST Business Start-up Grant via Profund Innovation! This is giving us the opportunity to further develop our German pronunciation app.
