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 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 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.

Filter function doesn’t work

This app is really helpful for improving English pronunciation, I used it for a few days but realized that the filter function doesn’t work, could anyone try to fix this function?
Also a little suggestion, whenever I reopen the app, I have to mutually change the pronunciation from British to American, which is in a way not convenient. It will be fantastic if it can save automatically.
But overall, good app!

Developer Response ,

Hello, we've just released an update which includes a fix for the filter function/search bar in dark mode - should all be working smoothly now! The Say It Team

Impressive!

Just found this app and spent over an hour practicing without noticing the time. It makes practicing very competitive and fun!
Would be great to have an ability to create custom words lists for tests!

After purchase, why no correct sound wave

After purchase, I found that I only could record and hear myself sound wave, there was no native speakers sound waves that could be compared. I confused how to compare and improve from this app even I purchase more words from your list.
