Speechwise

Hi All,

Three years ago, my cousin got rejected for a student visa. Not because her documents were wrong—she just froze during the interview. Couldn't articulate her study plans clearly. Six months of prep... gone in 90 seconds.

That rejection cost her a year, thousands in reapplication fees, and nearly killed her dream of studying abroad.

I kept thinking: if she'd just had more practice... real practice, not rehearsing answers in front of a mirror. But hiring interview coaches? $150-200 per session. She couldn't afford that.

So we built SpeechWise. AI that lets you practice realistic visa interviews and IELTS speaking tests as many times as you need. Not perfect—nothing replaces real preparation—but infinitely more accessible than traditional coaching.

What we're solving:

For visa applicants: That moment of panic when the officer asks something unexpected. Our AI adapts to your answers, throws realistic follow-ups, evaluates your clarity and confidence. It also considers all documentation.

For IELTS students: The speaking test is the hardest part for most people. We give detailed feedback on fluency, vocabulary, grammar—and let you practice the exact format of the real test.

Where we need help:

We launched two weeks ago. We have users, they're seeing results (several successful visa approvals!), but we're still figuring out how to reach everyone who needs this.

If you know someone preparing for a visa interview or IELTS test, please share this with them. And if you have feedback, i am all ears.

Happy to answer any questions! Also... slightly terrified but mostly excited to be here. 😅
