SpeakAccent · Vilafranca de Bonany, Balearic Islands, Spain
What it is
SpeakAccent is an iOS podcast player for studying languages with real podcast episodes. Synced transcripts highlight words and phrases during playback, and tapping text shows a translation in the learner’s native language. Shadowing lets users record themselves repeating podcast lines and compare their recording with the original. Saved vocabulary can be reviewed using difficulty-based spaced repetition. Users can search for podcasts or paste an RSS address when that option is available. The Free plan is free and includes one learning language, a native-language podcast player, and limited translations and study. Offline lessons are not available. Premium yearly and Premium monthly plans are listed as planned, with no prices shown; the planned yearly option includes all learning languages, advanced shadowing and pronunciation practice, and unlimited saved phrases and vocabulary, while the monthly option adds cancellation at any time and the same-account use on iPhone. SpeakAccent says it does not sell personal data, share it for third-party advertising, or use advertising trackers in learning.
