UNIQUE British English (RP) pronunciation app that TEACHES clear pronunciation, including phonemes (sounds) that may not exist in your own language, ANALYSES your attempts and reports the information INSTANTLY.


Accenteasy® assesses your pronunciation rather than relying on self-assessment, hence is more accurate and consistent than other pronunciation tools.


If you speak English but struggle with pronunciation and clear communication then accenteasy can help you.


Foreign learners of English often struggle with pronunciation because of unfamiliar phonemes (sounds) that may not exist in their own language. Many existing pronunciation tools focus on the listen & repeat method of teaching, “parrot apps”, and rely on you to assess your pronunciation by comparing recordings of your attempts to pre-recorded examples. The problem is they do not work well for learners of English that are not familiar with intonations or phonemes in English that may not occur in your own language.


Accenteasy® overcomes this major obstacle because it teaches the forty-four phonemes present in British English, or Received Pronunciation (RP for short), and uses these phonemes to teach English pronunciation. It assesses your pronunciation rather than relying on self-assessment, thus also making it more accurate and consistent than other pronunciation tools. These unique features solve the major problem that many foreign learners of English experience.

Improve your confidence with speaking English, prepare for important tests like TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC or for interviews and business or tourist trips.


The app is able to:

► Analyse your pronunciation by instantly comparing it to a library of 25,000 British English recordings

► Score each attempt and provide a breakdown of how you pronounced each part of a word, by phoneme

► Highlight parts of words that were pronounced inaccurately

► Teach you how to pronounce words correctly

► Provide accurate and detailed reports on performance, focusing on sections of words and individual phonemes

► Track progress and report this information to users, instructors, and teachers

► Offer lessons, designed from leading research, that target region specific, common issues for foreign learners of English, like South East Asia for example.


Future features include:

► Industry specific lessons in areas like business English, finance, law, medicine etc.
