First of all, let me tell you that I learned about this forum via Readlang's creator, Steve. So I want to thank him for
introducing me to such a rich community.

Since February, I have been working on this web app, which has a very simple concept: Listen to a phrase and try to
say it correctly.

You can see it at: http://sayafter.me

So my wife has been trying to learn English for about a year, and she was doing well overall. Unfortunately she had
trouble with pronunciation of common phrases, so I wanted to create a simple tool for her as I wasn't always
around to correct her mistakes. She used the prototype and found it rather useful, so I converted it into a web
application.

Currently SayAfter.me has content for English only, but it is designed to support multiple languages. Other
languages (German, French, Spanish etc) are on the roadmap.

Please feel free to give it a try, and let me know where it needs any improvement.

One last thing: You have to use Google Chrome, as SayAfter.me uses the built-in the speech recognition feature.

You might want to put together some sort of demo or presentation that shows exactly what
your site offers and have it playable on the front page.

I don't know how many people are willing to furnish an email address just to try the
site out, even though you specifically say you won't spam or sell details.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the heads up. There is already a video, which pops up after you click on the image, but I added an
explicit link for viewing the video just below the major CTA button. Now it is more apparent.
