ELSA Speak

ELSA Speak is a mobile app for speech practice on Android and iOS, with a placement test and personalized review. Its Free plan includes the first two lessons of topics. ELSA Premium adds personalized learning paths, interactive learning games, accent selection, a bilingual AI tutor and real-time feedback. The Premium plan costs $159.99 per year, billed annually, and a 7-day trial is listed. Offline lessons are not available, and the facts list one language offered. Support channels include email and documentation. The listed company-size fit spans solo users, small businesses, mid-market and enterprise. The maker is ELSA Speak; the facts list its founding year as 2016 and its headquarters as San Francisco, California. For a learner choosing between tiers, the free plan's stated scope is limited to the first two lessons of topics, while Premium adds learning paths, games and feedback. The app is mobile-only according to its listed platforms, so offline lesson access is not part of the offering.
