How the English accent checker works
Pick a paragraph
Choose a topic, level and focus sound. SpeakClear writes a fresh paragraph every time.
Read it aloud
Your browser transcribes your voice while SpeakClear measures pauses and beats on your device.
Fix what matters
See missed words, long pauses and uneven rhythm, then tap any word to hear it said correctly.
What the scores mean
Accuracy
How many words were understood, and which ones were swapped or skipped.
Fluency
Speaking pace (110 to 170 words per minute is natural) and long pauses.
Rhythm
How evenly your syllable beats are spaced, so speech sounds smooth, not choppy.
Competence
An overall blend: accuracy 40%, fluency 25%, rhythm 20%, completeness 15%.
