ELSA Speak

At ELSA Speak, we are revolutionizing language education through the power of proprietary artificial intelligence and deep learning. Founded in 2015, our mission is to enable the world's 1.5 billion English learners to speak with full confidence, unlocking new global opportunities in their careers and lives. We have developed an industry-leading speech recognition technology that is specifically trained on non-native speech data, allowing us to detect pronunciation errors with over 95% accuracy—a level of precision that sets us apart in the EdTech landscape.

Our innovation extends beyond simple voice recognition; we are building a personal AI coach that provides real-time, granular feedback on pronunciation, intonation, and fluency. By leveraging generative AI, we offer spontaneous, role-play based conversations that mimic real-world scenarios, from job interviews to casual coffee chats. This technology democratizes access to high-quality language tuition, effectively putting a private tutor in the pocket of every user. With offices in San Francisco, Lisbon, and Ho Chi Minh City, our diverse team of engineers and linguists is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in AI-driven education, ensuring that geography and financial resources are no longer barriers to mastering the English language.
