Can I try sayit without creating an account?

You can try sayit with no account and no card: open the app, read one line, and get a real scored take — per-word verdicts, IPA, the full pipeline, on the browser session alone. What that guest session doesn't give you is unlimited use. It's one scored recording per device before sayit asks you to create a free account to keep going.

30-second version: The first take runs with nothing to sign up for — no email, no password, no card. It's a full analysis, not a demo. After that one scored take (tracked per device, not per browser tab, so refreshing doesn't reset it), a free account is what continues the practice loop, at which point you get a monthly minute allowance instead of a single take.

Why only one take before signing up?

Because a scored take is real compute — the same three-pass pipeline (phoneme recognition, alignment, scoring) that runs for every paid user runs for a guest too, and an unlimited free-for-anyone allowance would be trivial to abuse with no account behind it. One scored take is enough to answer the question a first-time visitor actually has — "does this thing tell me something useful about my pronunciation?" — without needing an account just to find out.

What do I actually get on that first take?

The real thing, not a stripped-down preview. Per-word clarity verdicts, target-versus-produced IPA on anything flagged, and the accuracy, fluency and pace breakdown described in what those scores mean. There's no watered-down "guest mode" version of the scoring engine — the limitation is on how many times you can run it, not on what any single result contains.

What happens after the one take is used?

sayit asks you to create a free account to continue. That's a deliberate line, not a soft nudge you can dismiss and keep going anyway — one scored take per device is the actual limit for guests, which is why refreshing the page or opening a new tab on the same computer doesn't reset it. A free account is genuinely free (no card required) and moves you onto a monthly minute allowance instead of a one-shot trial.

Is it tracked per browser, per account, or per device?

Per device. That's what keeps the guest allowance meaningful — tying it to an account would defeat the point of a no-signup trial, and tying it to nothing at all (a cookie alone) would make it trivial to reset. This is also why the honest way to think about the guest take is as a single first impression of the product, not a way to practice regularly without ever creating an account.

Guest versus free account

Does the free account after signing up cost anything?

No — creating an account is free and doesn't ask for a card. It moves you from a single trial take to a monthly minute allowance that resets every month, which is enough for regular practice; paid plans exist for people who want substantially more monthly time, described on the pricing page.

Open sayit right now with no sign-up — read a line, see your first scored take. If you like what you see, creating a free account takes a minute and moves you onto ongoing monthly practice instead of a single trial.
