Is sayit a good pronunciation app for language schools?

Yes, sayit works for a language school, with one honest caveat about how you get access to the class-level features. Individually, any teacher or student can use sayit's free plan today — no procurement needed. For a whole class, sayit offers a Teams plan that adds shared seats and a class dashboard, letting a teacher assign reading passages and track progress for every student, sound by sound. That plan isn't a self-serve checkout tier with a published price; you reach out through the pricing page and get set up directly.

30-second version: Individual use (a teacher checking their own pronunciation, or a student practising) works on the free plan right now, no setup. Whole-class use — assigning passages, a shared dashboard, tracking a roster — needs the Teams plan, which is arranged by contacting sayit rather than picked from a public price list.

What's actually documented for schools

• Teachers can practise alongside students, assign reading passages, and track class-wide progress sound by sound.
• The Teams plan is the mechanism for shared seats and a class dashboard.
• When sayit is used through a school, that organisation may be a joint or separate data controller for its members' data under sayit's privacy policy — the school's own policies apply alongside sayit's.
• sayit is built for teen and adult learners; it doesn't knowingly collect data from children under 13 without appropriate consent, and in a classroom setting the school or teacher is responsible for the required consents.

Where sayit fits well for a school evaluating it

• Every teacher and student can trial the actual product on the free plan before any institutional commitment is made — nothing to demo separately.
• Per-phoneme feedback with target IPA gives a concrete, gradable signal for pronunciation homework, rather than a vague "practise more" assignment.
• Accent-tolerant scoring (tested against Indian, American, British and European voices) fits a genuinely international student body better than a tool tuned to one reference accent.

What to ask about before you commit

• The Teams plan has no published price — get a quote directly for your class size and needs.
• sayit doesn't publish specific compliance certifications (like a named FERPA audit) on its public pages — if that's a requirement for your institution, raise it directly when you contact them.
• It doesn't score grammar or vocabulary, so it covers the pronunciation half of a curriculum, not a full English course.

Who should reach out

If you're a language school evaluating tools for class-wide pronunciation practice, the practical first step is trying the free plan as a teacher yourself, then contacting sayit from the pricing page for Teams setup and to ask any institutional questions (data handling, roster size, billing) directly. For a fuller buyer's-guide treatment of evaluating pronunciation software for a school, see pronunciation software for language schools.

A reasonable pilot approach: run the free plan with a small group of students first, informally, before any Teams conversation. That gives both the teacher and the students a genuine sense of whether the feedback style fits how the class already works — pronunciation drills as homework, a passage read aloud before a lesson — without any procurement step, and it puts the school in a much better position to ask specific, informed questions once a Teams rollout is actually on the table.
