How speaking practice differs
Both apps put an AI tutor with a face and a voice in front of you and ask you to talk. Praktika's avatars each have a persona and teaching style, and its feedback covers pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, pace and word choice, with per-word scores you can check and retry. Its 1,000+ lessons include goals such as job interviews and IELTS or TOEFL prep, and you can turn your own photos, PDFs or voice notes into a lesson.
Tooter starts from the conversation. You pick a lifelike AI tutor by language, accent and coaching style, choose a session of 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes, and talk the whole time. Your tutor corrects pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and fluency as you go, at your level, and can explain in your native language when you're stuck. Guided lessons build the phrases you then use in conversation.
