About
SpeakingPal aims to change the way people learn a second language by enabling them to interact with a virtual video tutor and receive instant pronunciation feedback, all through their mobile devices. SpeakingPalโ€™s natural speaking experience is powered by speech-recognition technology and scoring logic. SpeakingPal allows for multiple answers, enabling the user to take control of the conversation so that each dialogue can take a different path as SpeakingPal listens, understands, and responds accordingly. Users can complete the curriculum and advance through all levels of English training by the A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2 ratings of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. In schools, SpeakingPal provides an equal opportunity for all students, regardless of their location or background. The companyโ€™s service enables teachers to focus on those students who require human attention while allowing others to practice with the virtual tutor.
