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.

Problems with some AmE speakers

The idea behind the app is great, still what is missing in case of American English are recordings made by real native speakers . It feels like the lady who is speaking the original file (e.g. the word ‘serious’) is either not a real person and a form of speech artificial intelligence or in the best case, a British person who imitates American pronunciation. The rest of the speakers are great though.

Developer Response ,

Hello, thanks for your feedback. All the speakers in our app are real people (in fact, trained actors), but the lady you've identified does have quite a soft accent. Very glad to hear that you like the app, nonetheless! The Say It Team

Fantastic app, great customer service!

After the 2.2.0 app update I experienced numerous app crashes and lost premium content access - the customer service immediately helped to swiftly resolve the premium content access issue, and I have a working app with the premium content retained in the newest release. Thanks a million, you are a star! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your kind comments! We're delighted that Say It is working well on your device now. We hope you continue to enjoy using Say It to learn and practise pronunciation. The Say It Team

Pricing is a joke;)

Someone must have lost his mind to set the price for the subscription at this level ;)
