Speakable Reviews & Product Details

Speakable.io is your friendly neighborhood SPEAKING/PRONUNCIATION COACH, down to the syllable level!! It is an absolute must for most subjects, not just language teachers. It not only saves many, many hours, but the detailed feedback and correction does a more thorough and excellent job than any of us could do if we had literally nothing else to do. The thoughtful, sensitive, encouraging, detailed, accurate, extensive feedback with grammar correction, compliance evaluation, suggestions, and assessment per standards cannot be done by us teachers. Student portfolios keep track of ongoing progress in oral and written work, even listening and reading comprehension. Upload your own rubrics for evaluation, or ACTFL, or whichever. Social Studies, history, and language arts teachers, not just world language teachers, should be using it for oral and written exams. Up your game x 1000! The personal customer support by developers we come to know and recognize, webinars, personal zoom troubleshooting is so unusual these days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not sure if there is an 'I give up" feature for words that are difficult to pronounce, but if not, there needs to be. My students got hung up on the French U, which modeling in the app doesn't teach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The instant feedback that is possible with the Speakable prompts is game changing for 1) keeping my teacher sanity and 2) keeping my Gen Z learners engaged. In the "old world", they would submit their answers and have to wait for me to grade them. Whenever they received the feedback, their brain was somewhere new and feedback always felt powerless. With Speakable, feedback is now FULL POWER. Within 24 hours of posting my first assignment, 8 students emailed me or came up to me after class (completely unsolicited) to tell me "how much they ENJOYED that assignment". The instant feedback and breakdown of their work completely changes everything about language learning for me. The prompt builder is so ease to use and easy to push to Google Classroom so everything is integrated and organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally the feedback generated by the AI can be too broad or too picky and it can take some dialing in to get your feedback just right. It's a learning curve for me but not too bad. Sometimes the organization or gradebook view of the prompts and the data is clunky and requires a lot of clicks to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Speakable for 2 years now and I find it student and teacher friendly. I can quickly view student work and results whether by listening to their recordings or reading the scripted version of their recording with the AI feedback and corrections. It is an amazing tool and it has helped my students develop their oral proficiency. I love the ACTFL proficiency level feedback. The customer support is always available. I use Speakable with my students on a weekly basis. It si incredibly teacher and student friendly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The images don't always match the vocabulary or are not age appropriate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing I like about Speakable is that my students can practice their speaking , listening, and writing skills with instant feedback.

I have used it when I am out sick and they have a speaking assignment. They get instant grades.

It makes my grading so much better and less time consuming!

Now, what I loved about it? I saw my students interact, practice , practice, laugh and enjoy learning! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes student voices were not recorded correctly. I had to create another assignment. It was a bit time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My students absolutly love the fact they can do this at home (private!), and the gamified aspect.

I absolutly love the automatic grading aspect based on National or State standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our microphones on our student computers are too sensitive for the students to use this in class. We tried a fe times, some students were able to do it, others' microphones kept picking up the other students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I absolutely loved using speakable last year with my class. When I finally figured out how to use it, I realize how simple it was. I loved I could borrow cards from other creators, I could modify them and streamline my work. I had a grant and was able to pay for it, but alas the money is gone now.

I wish that it was compatibe with Canvas and the grades would upload automatically. It was a bit of a hassle to use it as grades in my class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I have a range of assessment tools to use with my students, and that I have the option to let the AI grade my assignments, either by rubric or ACTFL level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like the ability for Speakable to generate texts on the fly for reading and listening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Something that I really like is the immediate feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes my students said the app did not recognize their real answers, so I would like to have more accurate voice recognition for my students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have to do speaking grades with students one-on-one or listen to long recordings of them trying to figure out what to say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My students with speech impediments struggle with completing assignments that are checked by AI. I am very unsatisfied with the credits system and that Speakable will not take POs for credits, so I had to pay for it myself. The speaking examples should be slower.
