PROJECT OVERVIEW
A Language Learning App for Real-Time Video
Edtech/HealthtechHalo Speak, marketed as a "Language Speaking Metaverse," helps learners practice English through real-time video sessions, partner matching, and interactive lesson flows. The platform serves two audiences at once: language centers looking for a digital teaching tool and self-learning users who want to practice directly with teachers and native speakers around the world.
InApps took over a system architecture inherited from a previous, less experienced development team and rebuilt it into a stable mobile app development foundation, covering video conferencing, partner matching, and payment integration for English centers.
Deliver a stable, real-time video conferencing experience built for language learning
Build a partner-matching system connecting learners with teachers and native speakers globally
Upgrade a legacy system architecture inherited from a previous development team
Enable seamless online payments and integrations with English language centers
Support structured, interactive lesson flows for both self-learners and language center users
WHAT THEY NEEDED
Client Requirements
Across each key area, these requirements shaped every architectural and product decision we made.
Real-Time Video Application Development
Halo Speak needed a mobile app development team experienced in building stable, low-latency video conferencing tailored to one-on-one and small-group language practice.
Partner Matching and Lesson Flow
The app needed a structured way to connect learners with the right teachers and native speakers, then guide them through interactive lessons.
Legacy Architecture Takeover
InApps needed to inherit and stabilize a system architecture originally built by a previous, less experienced development team, without disrupting the live product.
Payments and English Center Integrations
Beyond individual learners, Halo Speak needed to support B2B relationships with English language centers, including payment processing.
