SaySO

Industrial Design

2025

SaySO is a visual, speech-driven language tool that transforms how learners connect with language. By turning spoken sentences into responsive visuals — including real imagery, symbolic elements, animated flows, and subtle correction cues — SaySO empowers users to see their words come to life while building fluency through expression, not memorization.In Journey Mode, learners follow a structured path that adapts to their voice. Each sentence becomes a challenge, gently evaluated through SaySO’s visual feedback system. As learners progress, they gain clarity, accuracy, and confidence — all mapped onto a metaphorical landscape that reflects their growing skills.In Explore Mode, users are free to speak whatever’s on their mind. SaySO responds with real-time visual representations of the ideas expressed, allowing users to experiment, play, and see the poetic or emotional qualities of language. It's a space where curiosity leads the way, perfect for reflection, creativity, or just having fun with words.Together, these two modes create a balanced system — one offering support and direction, the other offering freedom and imagination.
