A number of applications for Android and iOS are provided to help the users to improve their English pronunciation. This paper reviews research articles discussing one of the existing applications, ELSA Speak. This application is designed to assist language learners in improving their pronunciation by utilizing its advanced speech recognition technology to provide real-time feedback. This paper then discuss how the application was implemented in Indonesian context. The findings show that ELSA Speak can significantly improve students‘ pronunciation with the help of its advanced technology. The findings also suggest that the use of ELSA Speak affects students‘ learning motivation positively. Previous studies recommend the use of ELSA Speak in pronunciation classes. However, students‘ readiness to use the application must be considered.
