ELSA Speak

Vorteile

GOOD app , improves english and boosts confidence

Vorteile

Pronunciation recognition - I really liked that I can say something and Elsa recognizes my mistakes and guves me guidelines how to improve it.

Nachteile

The Continue button - it should be automatized, so wheb I click on the choosed word it should be move forward and shouldnt wait for me to press continue all the time.

Vorteile

The software needs amendment since it doesn't have a specified program for a student; it should give a clear timetable for the student about the program, for example; how many days the spelling requires, how many days grammar, how many days reading and how many days writing the writing requires.

Nachteile

only adhering to one part of training especially the spelling discouraging the student

Vorteile

This software is very useful if you want to improve your pronunciation. You can hear the correct pronunciation for each sentence and compare it to yours. It's even possible to slow it down. The incorrect pronunciation is highlighted so you know where to improve.

What I like the most:

- Easy progress tracking / noticable progress
- Different topics to choose from
- Multiple fields to improve in (pronunciation, intonation, listening, word stress, conversation)
- Difficulty levels
- Business English
- Affordable
- Nice design

Nachteile

Sometimes it seems to me that a word isn't recognized properly. The pronunciation sounds correct to me but according to Elsa Speak it's not.

Vorteile

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ELSA Speak

Vorteile

I love Elsa so much it's really life. Saver it helps me a lot developing my English without speaking to native speakers
I love the interface of the app

Nachteile

I don't like the prices of premium option
I wish it can be a free app for all

Vorteile

The interactive platform is fun and entertaining, providing an easy way to learn the language you need.

Nachteile

I can't think of anything I don't like about Elsa.

Vorteile

I can get tracking of my pronunciation, fluency, intonation, listening, word stressing... And I can test all that. I get a fine perception of my improvements. Other things: high personalization level; the videos with the mouth position and the short explanations. It's so full of useful details and complete!

Nachteile

It's not so clear how to organize my own content, but I haven't had the time to explore this possibility, yet.

Vorteile

User can measure current status, ELSA helps user to give focus on learning on their weak areas. This is pretty much easy to use, just need internet connection. It can add values to business.

Nachteile

It could be more useful if user can use it from web browser. In person coaching price is bit high whereas it is more convenient in HALLO app. I think there have no difficulties to integrate with business team, it will help to add more profit to non-native English speaking business team.

Vorteile

My pronunciation is improved by training with Elsa app

Nachteile

I don't think the question is easy. I like the app and I going to use it all time

Vorteile

Elsa is a wonderful app for learning english
Because, before knowing Elsa, I have had a bad pronunciation and the worst intonation. But now, with Elsa, I speak like a native. I have a better understanding of learning languajes. I have no fear to speak with an American, a Canadian or an Australian because I feel that I become strong in English. The main features of this app that I love so much are: pronunciation, intonation, learning of new words.
Let me say to you that the two first features(pronunciation and intonation) are the key to become an english speaker. I recommend highly this app to everybody who want to speak like a native because Elsa has broken all my bad habits in learning english. Now, I speak confidently.

Nachteile

Pronunce a word or a sentence several times when it seems difficult for the app understand what I am saying. Because, I feel and i listen that I pronunce very well the word, but Elsa,sometime has some difficulties to understand it. You can work to make Elsa better in this aspect.

Vorteile

I like the app's very good pronunciation check. And that meets my need to practice English.

Nachteile

Translation of some words or sentences in Thai Still not as good as it should be Some sentences or some words are not correct. In addition I didn't find any problems in the app unless when the internet signal is not good The app might be processing slow.I just waited a while Provide better internet signal, no problem.

Vorteile

This is the first app I tried that used AI to learn the language

Nachteile

Somehow the app not stable even though my internet connection didn't mess

Vorteile

The speech recognition is excellent that I use every day. I also love the dictionary and lessons of ELSA. I've recommended this app for many of my students and friends.

Nachteile

I do hope that the dictionary can be used offline.

Vorteile

It provides real confidence after a short time of constant practice.

Nachteile

It's a little slow, I have to wait a long time to be able to click on to next one.

Vorteile

1) Not dependent on tutor.
2) Ease and flexibility of use.
3) Quality of software interface.

Nachteile

Short duration packages shall be cheaper

Vorteile

focus on interactive speaking, practical learning with assessment, seeing progress and improvement, understanding errors and fixing them

Nachteile

learning movement from zero to improved level

Vorteile

The best thing about this software is it can detect the pronunciation in every details and suggest you improve on it.

Nachteile

The subscription fee should be more affordable.

Vorteile

This app helps me a lot to improve my speaking skills.

Nachteile

This app is a bit slow to open this app on my iPhone.

Vorteile

What I like the most is the ability to see our progresses as the days go by. I learn to have a very good pronounciations and fluency...

Nachteile

But the league system is very not accurate... I mean, I used to play to have a good score until someone reach 40K points in 6 days... How this can be possible ???
Speaking like a robot or repeating sentences over and over again because the app doesn't recognize all words and syllable is boring and stressing... Sometimes, I have to quit exercice because it doesn't work properly even if I "force" my word to be clearer...

Vorteile

Help me with pronunciation and you ever learn a new word

Nachteile

You learn how to speak, you learn how to listen

Vorteile

It Improves my pronunciation , also it has a variety of courses .

Nachteile

I hope if they make videos of conversations .

Vorteile

I always have had problem with how to prounounce the words.additionally, I was very weak at connected speech.I did not now how it work.
Elsa speak helped me a lot to find my error and corrent myselt.
what makes the product awseome is that it has a powerfull unbelieable speach recognition algorithm which faccinate eveyone.

Nachteile

the part of courses related to ielts has weak matterial.
they can work on it more.

Vorteile

I can improve my English intonation and accent by using this apps. I can track my wrong accent very easily.

Nachteile

it would be great to choose options of English accents like the USA, the UK and so on. This is because I’m studying IELTS and I want to improve speaking ability more. So, if you give me choices to study British accent or States accent, this app can develop more.

Vorteile

Easy of use, the Voice analisys is amazing. Great tô develop the pronounce.

Nachteile

I don't have any cons about it. It's a great software.

Vorteile

La rigurosidad que tiene con el usuario para exigirle ciertos resultados en cuanto a pronunciación, me parece que excelente y propicia sí o sí la mejora en las habilidades de pronunciación.

Nachteile

Lamentablemente es una app paga en gran medida, con lo cual, limita a muchos usuarios de poder utilizar una herramienta tan valiosa.

Vorteile

Ce produit contribue à l’amélioration normale de la prononciation des phrases. Généralement, l’usage de application est très facile.

Nachteile

Je n’ai pas encore eu de complication pour son utilisation. Il suffit dune connexion internet et ça marche bien.

Vorteile

Notificaciones constantes para recordar el aprendizaje, además puedes personalizar los recordatorios para que siempre puedas estudiar a las horas que te acomodan y la cantidad de tiempo que tu dispones para ello.

Nachteile

en ocasiones se generan textos demasiado largos para poder traducir, lo que resulta un poco agobiante, pero a la vez supone un reto.

Vorteile

Excelente app para niños que desean aprender, en mi caso siendo adulto me ayudo a mejorar mi pronunciación

Nachteile

Nada, me parece fantastica la app y creo que han hecho todo bien

Vorteile

I like this feature, which is quite successful in detecting and evaluating sound. When I record my voice, it scores my pronunciation and I can listen to it again until it's correct. I can easily listen to how to properly voice over.

Nachteile

I think the program was created only on sound and pronunciation. Besides, I am lacking in writing and reading texts. Perhaps, while so much infrastructure has been developed, the program can be divided into larger English sections. There are some parts that are wanted to be done in a day, these can get boring after a while. Therefore, it should be more diversified.

Vorteile

I have seen progress in learning English as a second languageThe App overall is easy to useThe app helped me to score a high rate in General ILETS

Nachteile

The app is full of features, and I wish there were a dashboard that reflects the progress with weak areas.There are no interactive achievements.

Vorteile

The intonation was the most impactful because when I'm talking in English, I don't want to sound like a robot. The product was straightforward to use; it does by itself.
Elsa helped me a lot; integration with my existing business was easy.

Nachteile

This is something I couldn't evaluate right now because I'm delighted till now.

Vorteile

The capability to recognise every single sound from my voice is really impressive and this helps improve my pronunciation a lot.

Nachteile

The appearance is a bit confused to understand the structure of lessons.

Vorteile

What I paid for the lifetime package is reasonable and my skills, especially pronunciation get improved by practising everyday.

Nachteile

There are several tracks recommended for my practise so sometimes it caused me confused with the appearance.

Vorteile

That you have it available at the time you want or have available to practice English.

Nachteile

It ia not somethink I dislike, but there's something I thing could be better: The chat groups could offers some phone calls in small groups.

Vorteile

* It gives a good feedback about how your accent sounds and what do you need to improve in your accent
* It gives instructions about how to create those sounds (e. g. relax your lips, drop your jaw etc.)

Nachteile

* As said, the reminders didn't work well
* I wish there was a lessson that focuses and elaborates more on the IPA showed on the feedback
* Sometimes the app waits a few seconds to download the lesson or check for updates, not sure if it's my internet or something but it kinds of annoying

Vorteile

The software corrects me immediately and I get immadiate feedback. The videos are also cool, previously no one could explain and illuastrate me, how to form sounds. As Englisg is not my mother tongue, these explanations help me a lot in my improvement.

Nachteile

There is only one thing practiced: eg. when I learn the "th" sound, I get words/sentences to pronounce, but the software focuses only on the "th" sound, while I pronounce incorrectly the other parts of the word.

Vorteile

I really liked that you cans speak and obtain the immediate feedback. It would be even better to have more practise on every sound itself. To learn more from phonology. However it’s nice that you can do an instant progress just trying to find the perfect sound.

Nachteile

I don’t like that I should pay, just because I am a student and I don’t have so much money on my own. Still I had several times bought 1month premium because I really enjoyed your app

Vorteile

Accurate analysis and tips to reach the best pronunciation

Nachteile

Everything was fine , I just hope the price for the professional version is cheaper than it is now.

Vorteile

Free version is limited with five lessons everyday but it's okay for my needs.

Nachteile

Buying the paid version should be the ultimate goal.

Vorteile

The app is immersive, has good animations, is intuitive and you feel guided in your learning. In addition, it has different learning games.

Nachteile

1) Elsa does not have a British accent setting, which is why I have stopped using it.
2) The layout of the video pages leaves little room for the video itself, and it does not allow for rotating the screen to enlarge the image.
3) The learning games are always the same. It would be good if they were autogenerated from a database of words, like Duolingo. That way, the user could return and do the old exercises without going through the same words and phrases they have practised.

Vorteile

Self-learning with interactive communication was very helpful for me and this Elsa speak gives me feedback on my speech which I thought it wouldn't be possible without off-line teacher. Speech recognition looks it works for me so far even sometimes I doubt how it would work as it just points out the same pattern over and over.

Nachteile

As I mentiond in the pros I feel sometimes the speech recognition gives me the same feedback. However it's not easy to find a way to improve it in this app and I think I need to get advices from teachers on the pattern. I saw the app has a community to find a teacher but I don't think they would know my progress in the Elsa speaking.

Vorteile

I loved the automated training programs. I've done them all and would like to have more like those (with the 7 steps & test in the end)

Nachteile

I would love to see how to stress and do intonation everywhere like I do have feedback on the pronunciation. I'd also love to have feedback on the stress / intonation

Vorteile

The most important function of this app for me is the correct recognition of sounds and the evaluation of how correctly they are pronounced (with recommendations for improvement). Of the apps I've tried, Elsa is the one that recognizes sounds correctly.

Nachteile

Unfortunately, sometimes there are still problems with sound recognition. So you can continue to improve the engine responsible for speech recognition.
Sometimes it is not clear what exactly is wrong in the pronunciation (not enough comments, how exactly to correct the pronunciation of the sound, how the language should be positioned, etc.) The app has added videos from Rachel's English channel, but sometimes it is not enough.

Vorteile

It's helping me to modify my pronunciation and speak as natives and learning me many phrases and vocabulary is in different situations. It uses more methods like conversations, texts, video calls, listening tests, and others.

Nachteile

I can't modify the text size. I can't copy any text.
The translation into Arabic is not professional.

Vorteile

I like the content, variety of topics. My level was intermediate when I had started this app. Now I can pronounce like 90% as native speaker.

Nachteile

Only price is a bit expensive for me. Other things are great

Vorteile

I like everything about this app except some bugs and lack of progress summarize

Nachteile

No progress report sends to my email like some apps

Vorteile

I started using the trial version of the application and quickly included it in my daily English study practice.
Through a quick test, it is possible to identify specific pronunciation and intonation problems, which directs the efforts to be taken.
The application has a bank of video clips of interviews, lectures in real situations that greatly facilitate the understanding of sounds previously unperceived with the use of artificial intelligence.

Nachteile

I don't find the program so easy to manage. When starting each study session I am presented with many "recommended", "by topics" or "games" options for training, when it would be more intuitive to continue directly from where I left off.

Vorteile

ELSA provides you real-time feedback on your pronunciation and teaches you how to fix whatever is inadequate. It’s is just perfect.

Nachteile

The app is a bit inflexible when it comes to accents — native speaker accents — and also connected speech. Sometimes in spoken English some Ts are dropped for example. But if you drop them while reproducing a dialogue, ELSA will mark you for it. Therefore, it needs room to foresee variation of native speech.

Vorteile

the design of the app
gamification
I like the fact that I can record myself to compare my pronunciation and try to correct my mistakes

Nachteile

I'd like to get more advices ore videos to correct the pronunciation mistakes
