TWO WAYS TO PRACTISE
Learn by ear.
Or get a score.
Both count toward your progress, so mix them however you like.
Voices
Listen, record, and play the two back to back until you can’t tell them apart. Nothing gets scored here. You’re the judge.
Courses SCORED
Work through British RP, General American, Australian, New Zealand or Indian English sound by sound. Every word you say gets a score.
HOW IT WORKS
Five minutes
is plenty.
Listen closely, have a go, and hear how close you got. Come back whenever you’ve got a spare moment.
- 01 / LISTEN
Get an ear for it.
Hear words, phrases and stories in the voice you chose. Replay them as often as you need.
- 02 / SPEAK
Give it your voice.
Record yourself and hear your take next to theirs. On courses, every word is scored too.
- 03 / REPEAT
Build it up.
Words first, then phrases, then whole sentences. Your streak keeps count.
Got a script? Paste your own lines and rehearse them with a reference voice.
Ready for a longer read? Read aloud whole passages, with word-by-word scoring on courses.

THE STORY
Built from
a bucket list.
Our founder had a friend who could walk into any room and become someone else just by changing how they talked. British, Australian, Irish. It looked like a superpower, and learning to do it went straight on the bucket list. Years of searching never turned up anything that could teach it. So now there’s Accentuate.
The voices are AI-generated, built from recordings of native speakers. A few sounds are hard for them to get right, and the app flags those.
ON IPHONE, ANDROID AND THE WEB
Your next five minutes
could sound different.
