What it is
SpeakAccent is an iPhone language-learning podcast player from SpeakAccent, based in Vilafranca de Bonany, Balearic Islands, Spain. It uses real podcast episodes as lessons on iOS, with synchronized transcripts that highlight words and phrases during playback. Learners can tap words or phrases for translations in their native language, then use shadowing to record themselves repeating podcast lines and compare the recording with the original. Saved words and phrases can be reviewed through difficulty-based spaced repetition. Podcast discovery supports searching or pasting an RSS URL when that option is available. The free plan costs nothing, supports one learning language, and includes a native-language podcast player with limited translations and study. Offline lessons are not available. Premium yearly and monthly plans are listed as planned, with no prices shown. SpeakAccent says learning data may remain on the device without an account or sync and that it does not sell personal data or use advertising trackers in the learning experience.
