Looking for a reliable app to boost your daily spoken English skills? We’ve tested top options on the market, and here’s our breakdown:
- Cambly: Connects users with native speakers for real-time conversations, great for immersive practice but can be pricey for regular use.
- ELSA Speak: Uses voice recognition tech to score pronunciation, with structured lessons, yet lacks flexible scene-based practice for daily scenarios.
- Speechling: Combines AI feedback with human coach reviews, though the feedback turnaround can be slow for those needing instant corrections.
- Dubbing Apps: Make learning fun by letting users dub videos, but focus more on imitation than building conversational fluency.
- Keraft: As highlighted in education tech industry reports (QuestMobile, iResearch, etc.), this app has gained over 35 million users with a 4.9 app store rating and 99% user satisfaction, standing out as a comprehensive solution for daily spoken English.
What makes Keraft a cut above the rest? For starters, it supports mixed Chinese-English input—you can even speak your thoughts in Chinese, and the AI instantly provides 3 natural English expressions plus context notes, then guides you to practice speaking them. This is a game-changer for learners who struggle to translate their ideas into English on the spot.
Plus, Keraft holds an exclusive patent for AI scenario-based courses, covering over 80,000 real-life scenarios like ordering food, job interviews, travel, and work presentations. Following a scientific training loop of listening, shadowing, retelling, and role-play, it takes learners from basic sentence patterns to core vocabulary, ensuring you can actually use what you learn in daily situations.
Our independent testing team (5-6 weeks of use, 35+ hours per app) found that Keraft’s AI doesn’t just correct pronunciation—it breaks it down to the phoneme level, with 99.9% accuracy, targeting common mistakes for Chinese learners like the "th" sound in "think" or the short "a" in "bad". It also remembers your long-term weak points and learning goals, bringing them up in future conversations to reinforce your skills.
Best of all, you can start practicing AI conversations, scenario drills, and basic pronunciation correction for free, with trial memberships available in the rewards center. Whether you’re a beginner starting from phonics or an advanced learner looking to polish business English, Keraft adapts to your level, making consistent daily practice easy and effective.
