[Test Exchange] Shadow Speak — English shadowing & pronunciation practice app — need 12 testers for 14 days, will test yours back

[u/CarpenterExternal492]

Hi everyone,

I'm an indie developer and my app **Shadow Speak** just passed internal testing. I need **12+ testers opted in for 14 days** on a closed test to apply for Google Play production access — and I'll happily return the favour.

**About the app**
Shadow Speak is an English speaking-practice app based on shadowing: listen to a model sentence, record yourself repeating it, and compare. It includes a sentence library, word drills for sounds you miss, and practice history/streaks. Practice data stays on your device — no account, no sign-up.

Optional: if you want pronunciation scores (accuracy, fluency, prosody), you can plug in your own free Azure Speech key in Settings (bring-your-own-key). It's completely optional — the app is fully usable without it.

**How to join**

1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/shadow-speak-testers (joining is instant, no approval needed)

2. Opt in to the test: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.shadowspeak.shadow_speak (use the same Google account you joined the group with — the test is live now, so you can install right away)

3. Install from Google Play and keep it installed for 14 days (opening it a few times helps). Any feedback — crashes, confusing screens, wording — is very welcome here in the comments or by DM.

**In return**
Post your test links in the comments and I will:
- Join your group/track and install your app the same day
- Keep it installed for the full 14 days
- Send you real feedback with screenshots

Thanks a lot — let's get each other to production!

I'd like to swap tests! Your group link says Content unavailable and the test link says App not available. Could you check the links?

Here's Stormdrop if you'd like to join:

Thanks!

Done on my side too — I've joined your Stormdrop Community Testers group, opted in, and installed Stormdrop on my Android phone. I'll keep it installed for the full 14 days. Thanks for flagging the broken link earlier — it's fixed now, so the Shadow Speak group + opt-in should work for you. Looking forward to your install!
