speaking help
Speechace - speech recognition technology for assessing pronunciation and fluency. It provides immediate feedback on mistakes.
Speak and Improve (Cambridge English)- In spite of the similarity of the name, it is nowhere near as advanced as "write and improve" (see above). But it might be interesting to give it a spin. (An example of how it works- watch on YouTube)
You can talk to chatGPT with this Google Chrome extension. (choose language for speech recognition and for the robot)
Pi (app and web-based)- You can "have a conversation" with the bot. There are different voices to choose from (only US accents). Useful to improve your fluency, but sometimes may get "too clever" and give you cheeky answers.
TalkPal AI - web-based.
