Hey Product Hunt!
We built Your Best Accent to help you sound like a native speaker 🗣️🌍
As fellow language learners and tech enthusiasts, we (Sébastien and Kamil) have always struggled with one particular aspect of learning new languages: nailing the pronunciation. We'd spend hours repeating words and phrases, only to still sound unmistakably foreign. Sound familiar?
That frustration led us to create Your Best Accent, an app that uses AI to help you speak like a native.
The magic moment? When you hear "yourself" speaking your target language perfectly. It's incredibly motivating!
Why try Your Best Accent?
It's personal: Your own voice is your guide to perfect pronunciation.
It's flexible: Learn multiple languages and even specific dialects.
It's fun: Click on words to hear them, see translations, and track your progress.
As two programming nerds 🤓, we had a blast building this. We'd be thrilled if you gave it a try and let us know what you think. Does it help you feel more confident in your target language? Any features you'd love to see?

This is a brilliant concept, Kamil! Using our own voices for practice is such a game changer! The personalization aspect is where it’s at. Can’t wait to see how this app scales with multiple languages and dialects. Definitely upvoting for the innovation! 🚀 Any plans for community feedback integration post-launch?
@star_boat Thank you! We already support 11 languages, and around 20 dialects. You can listen to yourself speaking, Colombian, Mexican, Peruvian, Argentinian or Peninsular Spanish. What's about listening to yourself speaking with a Scottish accent? No problem, we got you covered ^^!

I think this product could be a game changer for anyone trying to improve their accent since practicing with your own voice clone sounds pretty innovative and fun, the founder seems to really understand the need for practical language tools, if it works well it could really help a lot of people struggling with pronunciation and make it less frustrating, would love to see more user reviews to get a better idea of its effectiveness though
Got to say, creating a voice clone to master pronunciation sounds fancy, but is nailing an accent really harder than mimicking a digital version of yourself, wondering if it actually helps or just complicates learning, have you thought about integrating real-life language coaches or maybe some gamification elements to make it more interactive
@corrinne thank you for your comment. It does change help a lot. Thanks to voice cloning I finally realized why I sound foreign in Italian and a few others!
@corrinne We don't really have any plans to include real-life coaches, that would be out of the scope of our project for now. We are however working on gamification and we are in the process of creating more exercises that will make the app more interesting and nicer to interact with.
Not sure if using a voice clone is the best way to learn pronunciation, wouldn't you get better results practicing with a native speaker instead, also curious if this can actually adapt to different dialects or just one standard version, thoughts?

@agilecoachsafe Hi! We actually offer multiple dialects/accents on the app for some languages and the results are pretty good. We offer various accents for English. You can give it a try with Scottish English, which is a interesting accent to listen to and isn't often available on language apps.
@agilecoachsafe I'm not sure if we manage to convey the idea fully to you. With our app you are learning pronunciation with a native speaker! The only difference is that it's yourself. Try the app and you might be amazed by how you sound when you have no accent in a foreign language. I, myself was quite surprised about my accents in multiple languages.

I see the idea behind using voice clones to master accents, but I can't help but wonder if there's a risk of it creating a false sense of progress, like is it really effective or just a novelty, also curious if there are plans to integrate real-life conversation practice, which seems crucial for truly mastering an accent
@stratafrica15 I believe otherwise, with our app it's easier to detect problems with your pronunciation, because it's much easier to compare yourself to your perfect self, than rather to some random native speaker, who might be of different age, or even gender!
