Questions
How can I practise English conversation on my own?
Pick a situation you will really be in and say your side out loud. Here a native voice plays the other person. On your lines you speak first, then hear the native and compare the two recordings, then replay the whole conversation with your own takes.
Are my recordings uploaded?
No. The page records in your browser and plays it back from there. Nothing is sent to a server, and the recordings are gone when you leave the page.
Can I choose the voice?
Yes: Emma, James, Olivia or Noah, the same four voices as the app. You get the voice you pick, and the other person gets the paired voice (Emma with James, Olivia with Noah).
Is it free?
Yes. Every conversation on this site is free. In the app they are free too; without Pro a short ad plays before each one.
