Sayalong: Picture Dictionary
Learn Japanese Words & Phrases
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Sayalong is a talking picture dictionary. See a word, hear it spoken by a native voice, then say it back — the app listens and scores your pronunciation. Built for kids and beginners in 14 languages.
WHY IT WORKS
Apps make you tap. Sayalong makes you SPEAK. That's the difference between recognizing a word and remembering it. Every word has a picture, a native voice, and a mic — the loop your brain actually needs.
WHAT YOU GET
• 500+ illustrated words per language, organized into 61 categories
• Native pronunciation on every word — hear, then say it back
• On-device speech scoring — no recordings leave your phone
• Alphabet learning — Hiragana, Katakana, Hangul, Pinyin, Cyrillic, Latin
• Trace the letters with your finger
• Karaoke-style stories — listen, read along, narrate back
• Daily practice with spaced repetition
• Personalized 30-day learning plan
• Streak reminders that name the next word waiting for you
• Works fully offline. No account. No ads.

Ratings & Reviews
• Fixed a bug where the microphone could get stuck and your pronunciation score never appeared.
• Speaking practice now works reliably everywhere: course days, letters and stories.
• Faster start — the intro is shorter, so you speak sooner.
• If we don't catch your voice, you'll now see a friendly retry instead of 0%.
• Clearer explanation of why the microphone is needed.
