Free · one sentence · no account needed
Check your English pronunciation, sound by sound.
Read one short sentence out loud. We score every word and name the sounds that did not land, so you know exactly what to practise rather than being told to work on your accent.
Read this out loud
I think the weather is very warm this week.
The two TH sounds, plus V against W
No account, and nothing is kept: your recording is deleted the moment it has been scored.

What your result looks like
Every word coloured by how it scored, an overall verdict, and the sounds worth practising. This is a made-up example so you know what to expect.
Each word, coloured by how it scored
I think the weather is very warm this week.
68Almost
Understandable, with a couple of sounds a listener has to work at.
Sounds worth practising
- this (th) in “weather”
- very (v) in “very”
One thing to work on first
this (th)
It slipped in “weather”. Say that one word slowly three times, then read the sentence again.
What this checker can and cannot tell you
- It compares what it heard against the exact sentence on screen, so it is precise about which sound in which word fell short, and it says nothing about the words you did not read.
- Reading a sentence you can see is easier than producing one yourself. A sound you get right here can still collapse in conversation, which is why the free speaking test measures spontaneous speech instead.
- It scores whether a sound is recognisably the English one, not whether it matches a particular country's accent. Being understood and sounding native are different goals, and only the first one is measured here.
- Speech recognition is measurably less accurate on accented English. A single low score is weak evidence; the same sound scoring low across different sentences and different days is a real signal.
- Nothing is kept. Your recording is deleted in the same request that scores it, and no account is created. If you do make a free account on this device afterwards, the names of the sounds you missed are carried over so your practice starts there; the recording is not, because it no longer exists.
Which sounds should you practise?
That depends on the language you already speak. An Arabic speaker has had both TH sounds since childhood and has never produced a /p/; a Japanese speaker needs L against R before anything else. Teaching everyone the same list in the same order wastes most of the effort.
There is a page for each of the ten languages Speakle explains English in, setting out which contrasts that language tends to merge, which you can skip, and the order worth working in.
How the english pronunciation checker works
About a minute, free, no account and an instant result. Three steps:
- Read one English sentence aloud.
- Every word is scored, and the sounds that did not land are named.
- See what to practise first, with the sounds that matter most for your first language.
Questions people ask
Is the pronunciation checker free?
Yes. No account, no card, and your recording is deleted once it has been scored.
Does it judge my accent?
It checks whether each sound came across clearly, not whether you sound like a particular country. Clear English in your own accent is the goal.
How do I improve the sounds it finds?
Speakle’s pronunciation path starts from your first language, trains your ear to hear each contrast, then helps you make it in words and in your own speech.
