The Problem: Speaking fluently is the hardest part of learning a 2nd language because traditional pronunciation feedback usually requires a teacher/ classroom setting which is not accessible to millions of learners, is a slow and costly process, is not scalable, is prone to bias, is subjective, speaking in front of a class makes students feel uncomfortable, requires travelling/ commuting, cannot be done at the learner’s schedule and pace. The Solution: thefluent.me allows learners to practice anytime, anywhere, get instant feedback on their pronunciation and reading speed, with overall score/ reading speed, with word-level score/ reading speed assessment, with objective tracking metrics. Listen to previous recordings, transparently earn badges for good results rather than subjective marks, enjoy a fun experience by competing for badges with classmates, earn shareable certificates, save costs for tuition fees, travelling/ commuting, accommodation.

I have been looking for something similar for so long. Let me make sure I am getting it right: - I send you a mp3/wave file with a student (our app users) pronunciation - You respond back with an evaluation of the student's pronunciation and score - This is currently free?! In the current (beta) build of the app we use Azure cognitive services to do this, why switch to The Fluent? Best of luck

@ahmed_zain_mohammed Yes, this is free for app users. thefluent.me not only provides pronunciation accuracy but also reading speed assessment. Is this a feature Azure cognitive services offers as well?

@markus_koy Sorry, but how/why for free? This is not necessarily a good thing - for big projects - because the user cannot hold you accountable.

@ahmed_zain_mohammed Thank you for your feedback. thefluent.me is free for web app users. Organizations that would like to use thefluent.me subscribe to the API and they can choose from different paid plans.
