Extras

You build
your buddy.

  • Color, shape, eyes, even glasses and hats

    You make it at the end of onboarding, and you can remake it any time.

  • Every launch, it forms out of particles

    From the second you open the app, someone is there to talk to.

  • On days you skip, your buddy writes to you

    Even on an off day, there is one reason to come back.

60 seconds.
Nothing to fear.

Everything that makes speaking scary, we designed out one by one.

  1. 1

    It listens only while you hold the button

    The mic is on only while you hold the round button. Think first, then speak, at your own pace.

  2. 2

    It never corrects you mid-conversation

    Corrections wait until the call is over, then arrive together in your lesson note.

  3. 3

    Stuck? Say it in your own language

    Your buddy works out what you meant, puts it into English and keeps going. The line you could not say ends up in the note.

  4. 4

    At 60 seconds, the app hangs up for you

    You never have to say "that's enough for today". That is why it happens every day.

A call with the buddy: karaoke-style captions and the round hold-to-talk button

What you said
stays with you.

The moment the call ends, you have study material made from your own sentences.

The lesson note screen

Lesson note

What you said, and how it sounds more natural. Plus what went well and what to try next.

The saved phrases screen

Saved phrases

Keep the lines you liked, play them, search them.

The pronunciation practice screen with per-word scores

Drill and pronunciation

Listen, repeat, say it from your own language alone. Pronunciation is scored word by word, so you know which sound to fix.

The review podcast screen

Review podcast

Your note becomes a two-voice conversation. On the train, just listen.

Scenes, notes and phrases sort themselves into everyday, travel, food, school and work.

The streak screen

Built to
happen daily.

  • Journey

    Chapters and steps on a path. You can see how far you got today.

  • Mission cards

    Before each call, pick one role-play from Lv.1 to Lv.3. You never start from a blank page.

  • Streak and learning record

    One conversation a day keeps it going. Phrases, words, days in a row.

  • Messages and reminders from your buddy

    Weak cards and unplayed podcasts, brought back one at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Q.Several apps are called Inko. Which one is this?

This is the official site of Inko: AI Language Learning on the App Store (App Store ID 6793942168), made by AlphaByte, Inc. for iPhone, iOS 17 or later. The Inko whiteboard app and the Inko check-in app are different apps from other developers.

Q.Can I use it if I can barely speak yet?

Yes. When the words do not come, say it in your own language. Your buddy picks up what you meant, says it back in English and keeps the conversation going. Everything you could not say shows up in the lesson note afterwards.

Q.Is the mic always on?

No. It listens only while you hold the round button, so you can think first and then speak.

Q.How much time does it take a day?

The conversation is 60 seconds. Reading the note and saving a phrase or two takes a few minutes at most.

Q.Is it free?

You can try one conversation for free. Inko Pro is a subscription for when you want to keep going. Details are inside the app.

Q.How is this different from an online tutor?

No booking, nobody to feel self-conscious in front of, and study material made from your own sentences the moment the call ends. It never gets tired of the same mistake.

Q.Which languages can I learn?

You can learn English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish or French, from any of 50 native languages. Explanations come in your language; only the phrases you learn are in the target language.

Q.Where are my recordings and notes stored?

Recordings, notes and phrases stay on your device. Audio is sent to the AI to generate the reply, but it is not kept on a server. You can delete your account completely from inside the app.
