Every Student Gets a Speaking Partner. Every Teacher Gets to See It.
Real-time spoken conversation practice with an AI tutor that listens, responds, and corrects as students speak — deployed for universities, schools, and language academies with hard usage caps, teacher reports, and fixed-price pilots.
Web-based, no app rollout · Hard per-student caps · Fixed-price pilots · 6 languages
The Problem Is Arithmetic, Not Teaching
One teacher, twenty-five students, fifty minutes. Divide it out and each student produces spoken language for a minute or two per class — through no fault of the teacher. Speaking is the skill exams grade and employers hear, and it is the one skill a group class structurally cannot supply enough of.
One-to-one, out loud, corrected in the moment — and visible to the teacher afterwards.
Built for the Institutions That Teach Languages
The same platform, deployed three ways.
Universities & Language Centres
Thousands of students face accredited-level requirements and mobility deadlines; conversation classes cap at a dozen seats. Give exam-bound and Erasmus cohorts daily speaking practice, with evidence your language centre can put in front of its own stakeholders.
- Semester pilots matched to your academic calendar
- Speaking-exam preparation with rubric-graded assessments
- Adult learners — deployable today, no age gating
Schools & Education Authorities
For ministries, regional authorities, and school networks reviewing digital solutions for foreign-language teaching: capped per-student budgets a procurement office can actually plan around, teacher visibility, and an honest, written account of what exists today versus what is roadmap.
- Fixed-price pilots sized for direct-award contracting
- Teacher-training and adult cohorts first; minors milestone-gated
- Complements — never replaces — teachers and assistants
Language Academies & Official Schools
Your students pay for outcomes, and speaking is the outcome they judge you on. Add structured daily conversation practice between lessons — branded as part of your course, reported to your instructors, priced per enrolled seat.
- Per-seat licensing that follows your enrolment
- Exam-prep scenarios: IELTS-style interviews and more
- Fast start: a cohort can be speaking within a week
Practice That Compounds, Not a Toy That Talks
A conversation is only educational if what went wrong in it changes what happens next. Around every session sits an accountability loop:
1. Speak and be corrected
Free-form spoken conversation in realistic scenarios, matched to the student's placement level. Corrections arrive in the moment the error is made — when the student can immediately retry the sentence.
2. Every mistake is logged
Each error lands in the student's personal Mistake Ledger, categorised by type — grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation — building a precise map of what this student, specifically, gets wrong.
3. Drilled from their own errors
Micro-drills are generated from the student's own logged mistakes — never a generic worksheet. Days later, spaced probes re-test old errors in new contexts; a mistake only retires when the student proves it stayed fixed.
4. The teacher sees all of it
Fortnightly per-class reports: who practised, how many minutes, which error categories dominate, and whether corrections are sticking. Placement at the start, rubric-graded speaking assessment at the end — evidence, not vibes.
What Exists Today vs. What Is Roadmap
Most vendors will show you their roadmap and call it their product. We keep the columns separate — and we suggest you demand this table from everyone you evaluate, including us.
Available today
- Live voice tutor in 6 languages, web + iOS, in production
- Scenario library + custom scenario authoring
- Placement test, Mistake Ledger, personalised drills, spaced re-testing
- Rubric-graded speaking assessments
- Hard per-student daily caps, enforced server-side
- Privacy policy that names our AI provider plainly
Built for your pilot
- Class access codes and bulk seat provisioning
- Pseudonymous student accounts — no personal email
- Fortnightly per-class teacher reports (PDF/CSV)
- Per-organisation data controls, including correction-replay storage disabled
- Class-level scenario assignment
- Load testing certified before your first class day
On the roadmap
- Live teacher dashboard (reports ship first; dashboards follow evidence)
- EU-resident AI processing
- Formal data-processing agreement pack for schools
- Cohorts including under-18s (gated on the two items above)
- Single sign-on and platform integrations
We will not claim EU data residency, minors-ready compliance, or dashboards before they ship. Honesty about the third column is why institutions can trust the first two.
The Two Questions Every Evaluator Asks First
"Where does student voice data go?"
Speech is processed in real time by Google's Gemini service — named in our privacy policy, not hidden behind "proprietary AI". Correction replays are retained 30 days, deletable, and can be switched off entirely for your organisation. Account deletion purges the student's data, including stored audio. What we don't yet support (EU-resident processing, under-18 cohorts), we say out loud and date.
"What will this actually cost?"
One fixed number per pilot, agreed before the start. Every student carries a hard daily speaking cap enforced on our servers, so the AI bill behind your contract is bounded by design — there is no per-minute billing, no overage clause, and no "unlimited" promise that quietly assumes your students won't practise.
How a Pilot Works
One term or semester. A defined cohort — an exam-prep group, a mobility intake, a teacher-training programme. Fixed price. Defined exit.
- Weeks 0–2 — setup. Classes provisioned via access codes, teachers onboarded (one hour is enough), placement tests run, classroom load certified.
- During — daily practice, fortnightly evidence. Students speak every day inside their caps; teachers receive per-class reports every two weeks.
- Mid-point — the honest review. Full data against the four agreed measures. If it isn't working, this is the built-in moment to stop — payment milestones are structured around it.
- End of term — outcomes report. Pre/post assessment movement, correction-to-mastery rates, teacher survey — plus a costed per-seat proposal for the following year, priced on your cohort's real usage.

Institutional FAQ
Is there anything to install?
No. Institutional deployments run in the browser: students join with a class code on any laptop or tablet with a microphone. There is no app rollout, no MDM project, and no personal email address required for pilot accounts. (An iOS app exists for individual learners.)
Which languages does LinguaLive teach?
Six languages today: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Japanese. Most institutional deployments start with English speaking practice, with the same account covering the other languages at no extra cost.
Is student voice data stored? What does the AI do with it?
Speech is processed in real time by Google's Gemini service to hold the conversation — we name our AI provider plainly in our privacy policy rather than hiding behind "proprietary AI". Short correction replays are retained for 30 days and are deletable, and for institutional deployments replay storage can be disabled entirely for your organisation. Error logs that power each learner's drills are text, not audio.
How much does it cost?
Pilots are fixed-price: one number for a defined cohort and term, agreed before the start, with hard per-student daily speaking caps enforced on our servers. There is no per-minute billing and no overage clause — the invoice cannot exceed the agreement. Annual per-seat licensing follows the pilot, priced on the evidence the pilot itself produces.
Can it be used with students under 18?
Not yet — and we would rather tell you that than discover it together mid-deployment. Today we deploy with adult cohorts: university students, teacher training, official language school and academy learners. Cohorts that include minors are unlocked once our EU-resident processing migration and school-grade data-processing agreement are complete — a dated milestone we put in writing, not a vague roadmap promise.
Does it replace teachers or conversation assistants?
No, and we decline to be positioned that way. LinguaLive is the practice room between classes: it gives each student the speaking repetitions a group class structurally cannot provide, and hands the teacher a report of who practised, what they got wrong, and whether it stuck. Curriculum, assessment judgement, and the human relationship stay with your staff.
Can teachers create their own scenarios?
Yes. Beyond the built-in scenario library (interviews, exams, travel, healthcare and more), teachers can author custom scenarios matched to their curriculum, and class-level scenario assignment ships as part of institutional pilot deployments.
How do we know whether it worked?
Four measures, agreed before the pilot starts: minutes of real speaking per student per week; the share of logged mistakes later passed in spaced re-tests; pre/post rubric-graded speaking assessments; and a structured teacher survey. Teachers receive per-class reports every two weeks, and the institution receives a mid-pilot review and an end-of-term outcomes report.
