Practise Your English Speaking Skills With Matt

Online, January 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Speaktoit (www.speaktoit.com), a company designing conversational agents for mobile devices, announced the launch of its new iPhone application called "Chat and practice your English with Matt". Matt is a chatbot who speaks to users in natural language and helps them practice and improve their English speaking skills.

There is a wide variety of language learning techniques and courses on the Internet today. Some of them are pretty efficient, and some are quite doubtful. Some learners might like repeating phrases after an audio recording while brushing teeth, and never use them again. Some people enjoy listening to soft-voiced narrators while driving at work, risking their lives on roads. Some still believe in subliminal mind learning, and some even get hypnotized in order to learn to speak language fluently in no time. And still there is no better way to improve one's speaking skills than speaking to other people.

However, sometimes there is no one to chat with. There are several reasons for that. First of all, there just might be no one around who speaks this language. Second, nobody might want to chat with a beginner student trying to complete a sentence for several minutes and not always successful. Some students get nervous and start stammering when they realize they make other people wait.

Speaktoit's new iPhone application is a virtual chat partner, called Matt. Matt is not an ESL teacher, and he doesn't really teach anything. Matt is a very talkative chatbot, always available for a chat with anyone willing to practice their speaking skills. The conversation goes like this: Matt reads the message typed in a chat window next to his image and replies immediately. He can also suggest discussing some topics. Matt's knowledge base covers numerous topics, so he can discuss almost everything a user might want to talk about. Matt is available for a chat 24/7 and he is always very patient waiting until a user finishes a sentence. Besides, Matt learns something new every day by discovering new topics and colloquial expressions to share with all those who want to become a part of enormous English-speaking community.
