Speaking routine

Read, listen, and speak again.

Whatsay is a free web tool that helps you keep practicing Korean speaking with stages and review.

How it works Start today
Use case

Read at your desk and check it right away.

Whatsay starts with simple practice: look at a short sentence and read it aloud without long preparation. You can speak comfortably alone and check what you just said.

Use it right away

Read sentences and check speech recognition without installing anything.

Hear your own voice again

Build a habit of hearing how you spoke before chasing perfect accuracy.

Move step by step

Start with easy greeting sentences and unlock stages to raise the speaking level.

Why use it?

Reading with your eyes and speaking aloud are different skills.

Understanding text and speaking naturally need different practice. Repeating short, slow reading, checking missed words, and reading again can lower the pressure of speaking.

Mistakes are fine. Seeing which words were recognized differently makes the next practice easier.

Good for these moments

Use it when you need a small routine to check speaking alone.

Before a presentation

Read the first sentence several times to check pace and endings.

When you read too fast

Start with short sentences and read by meaning chunks to reduce rushed reading.

When you wonder how your voice sounds

Turn on auto-save to replay recent recordings and check endings, pauses, and pronunciation yourself.

What is fluency?

Fluency is not the ability to speak fast.

Read accurately

The first step is speaking without skipping or changing the sentence. Whatsay compares the original and recognition result to show what sounded different.

Pause naturally

Natural speech depends more on pauses than speed. Reading by meaning chunks helps reduce rushed delivery.

Express the line

Good speaking does not end with matching words. Intonation, rhythm, and stress help listeners understand more comfortably.

Speak clearly

Small pronunciation habits make practice easier.

Wake up your mouth shape

If vowels blur, the whole sentence can sound unclear. For the first read, move your mouth a little more than usual and read slowly.

Do not miss consonants and endings

When speaking fast, sounds and final consonants can weaken. Pressing the end of words slightly makes speech clearer.

Check habits with recordings

Your imagined voice and actual recording can differ. Whatsay connects reading, recognition, and replay into one self-check flow.

Before you start

Speech recognition scores are for reference.

Affected by browser and surroundings

Recognition can vary by microphone position, noise, speaking speed, and browser. Treat the score as practice feedback, not a professional pronunciation diagnosis.

Microphone permission is required

When you start speaking practice, the browser may ask for microphone permission. Without permission, recognition and recording may not work.

Privacy notice

Whatsay currently does not require signup and does not upload recording files to its own server. Recordings and detailed records are stored on your device by default.

Recording auto-save can be turned off in Settings, and you can delete recent recordings or all study records yourself. Depending on the runtime or OS policy, speech recognition may send voice data to an external recognition service.

FAQ

Things you may wonder before starting

Do I need to sign up?

No. This version works directly in the browser without signup. Records are stored on your device by default.

Does a low score mean bad pronunciation?

Not necessarily. Speech recognition is affected by noise and browser environment, so use the score only as feedback for the next practice.

Where are recordings stored?

When recording auto-save is on, recent recordings are stored on your device. They are not uploaded to Whatsay's own server.

Which browser is stable?

Speech recognition depends on browser support. Chrome-based browsers are relatively stable, and microphone permission is required.
