Try Dixo before launch
The Android beta is open: get the whole app, free, before anyone else. Three steps, five minutes.
The first run downloads 241 MB
Dixo scores your pronunciation with a speech model that runs entirely on your phone: nothing you say leaves the device. That model is downloaded once, the first time you open the app, and you can't use the app until it finishes. After that it works offline.
Before you start
- Android 8.0 or newer
- A real Android phone (emulators don't count for Google)
- A Google account, the same one in the group and in Play
- ~300 MB free
- Wi-Fi recommended for the first launch
How to join
Do these in order. If you open the testing link before joining the group, Play will tell you you're not a tester.

Join the group
It's public: you join yourself, no approval needed.
Join the group -
Opt in to the test
Use the same Google account you joined the group with.
Opt in to the test If Play says the test doesn't exist, it is still being published: try again a bit later. -
Install from Google Play and open the app
The model download starts on its own and shows you the progress. Let it finish.
If something goes wrong
Play says I'm not a tester
You're not in the group, or you opened the link with a different Google account. Go back to step 1 and check which account is signed in to the Play Store.
The app doesn't show up in Play
Usually propagation. Wait a while, clear the Play Store cache and try again.
The download failed
The network dropped. The app tells you and offers Retry: the download resumes where it left off, it doesn't start over.
It asks me to confirm over mobile data
You're on a metered network. It's 241 MB, so Wi-Fi is better, but you can continue if you want.
I don't have space
You need about 300 MB free. Free up space and try again.
Can I delete the model?
Yes, Settings has "Delete the download". But you go back to the blocking screen and have to download the 241 MB again.
