Use for different learning goals

You can create multiple different types of pronunciation exercises including minimal pairs and tongue twisters to help your students contrast differences between phonemes. You can also hide the source text so students have to try to repeat what they hear, and by doing so help them develop their listening skills and comprehension.

Review your students’ recordings

As a teacher you can see your students’ progress along with their automated scoring. You can also listen and review their latest recordings manually if you wish and give additional personalized feedback on top of their automated score.
