- In Claude on the web or the desktop app, open Customize, then Connectors.
- Open Discover, search for NativeSpeech and choose Connect.
- Start a chat and ask for something, for example "Use NativeSpeech to give me a sentence to read aloud in French."

With or without an account
Guides, practice scripts, roleplay and interview lists, interview questions, the read-aloud card and checking a recording all work without signing in. Your progress, recent sessions, today's drill and saving texts or results use your NativeSpeech account: Claude asks you to connect the first time you use one of them.
The practice card
- Read aloud: press Record, read the sentence and get an overall score, accuracy, fluency and a score for every word. Use the sentence Claude suggests, choose New sentence, or Edit text to read your own.
- Check a recording: choose an audio or video file of yourself (MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, MOV and more) and get the same word-by-word result, your top issues by sound pattern and words to drill.
- Languages: 42 languages and accents. Changing the language gives you a sentence in that language.
- Listen: in Claude, Listen opens the word on nativespeech.app, where you can hear it.
- Phones: the Claude mobile app gives cards no microphone, so the card opens the same practice on nativespeech.app.
Sign in and sign out
When you first ask for your own progress, Claude shows a Connect button that opens the NativeSpeech sign-in page. Use the same account as on the website or the app, or create one there. To sign out, ask Claude: "Sign me out of NativeSpeech." That ends the sign-in for Claude only; the website and the phone app stay signed in.
Privacy and data
- Recordings are scored from your browser. Claude receives your scores and transcript, not your audio.
- NativeSpeech receives only what each tool needs: the text, word or topic you ask about, and your answers when you practise.
- Without an account, nothing is saved to a profile. Signed in, your results are saved to your NativeSpeech history, as on the website.
- Details are in the privacy policy.
Remove NativeSpeech
In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors, choose NativeSpeech and remove it. Your NativeSpeech account and history stay as they are.
Troubleshooting
- The card doesn't appear
- Every answer also includes a link to the same practice on nativespeech.app. Start a new chat if the connector was added mid-chat.
- The microphone is blocked
- Allow microphone access for claude.ai in your browser's site settings, then press Record again.
- "Your free practice credits are used up"
- Your account has no scored speaking time left. Nothing was counted, and your text is kept in the card's link so you can continue in NativeSpeech.
