About Elispeak
Elispeak is a proprietary web app where learners practice spoken English with an AI tutor named Eli. Users pick a topic or a goal, such as a job interview, a business meeting, casual conversation or an exam like the Cambridge C1 Advanced or the Duolingo English Test, and then talk through realistic scenarios while receiving instant feedback.
The tutor analyzes pronunciation to find weak sounds, remembers mistakes and builds a personal practice plan in the background. Dialogues can be listened to and read, new words are saved to a list and reintroduced in later conversations, and goal tracks structure preparation, for example a warm-up, an interview question simulation and a presentation drill. The vendor argues this is more targeted than a general chatbot, and a separate section is aimed at teachers.
Elispeak is a hosted service with no self-hosted version. The site has a topics library, a blog and a pricing page, though plan details are not given in the source material, and a login lets learners keep their progress.
