About
At Speak, we recognize that to truly learn a language, you must engage with it verbally. That's why our core philosophy is centered around getting users to speak out loud as much as possible. Speak is an innovative language learning app that uses advanced AI technology to provide real-time feedback, creating a personalized learning experience for each user. Our AI Tutor not only helps users master pronunciation but also encourages them to engage in meaningful conversations on various topics, tailoring lessons to fit individual interests and goals. Founded by Connor Zwick and Andrew Hsu in 2016, Speak aims to democratize access to high-quality language education powered by cutting-edge AI tools. This enables learners to practice speaking in a safe environment without the fear of making mistakes. Our system is designed to keep learners motivated and accountable, making the language journey enjoyable. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, Speak is here to guide you, leveraging AI to ensure a fluid grasp of languages.
