Say It: English Pronunciation APK 3.5

5 stars: I'm not sure if this is good for everyone, but mode people will find some value from this app. It's very good for showing the different - ed in English verbs, ch and sh and other sounds students struggle with. It's also great that they can study alone before class if they are embarrassed by speaking. A version for sentences would be great too , one day! Showing the linking sounds and stress. Anyway, this is a good app.
5 stars: This is a fantastic learning tool for really getting students to work on the specific sounds in words as well as taking into account stress and intonation. The visualisation is very useful way to illustrate areas that need more attention and can be practiced again and again. As an ESL teacher, I have recommended it to all my students so that they can work on their pronunciation skills at home and have used it in class on many occasions.
2 stars: The idea of soundwave comparison is cool. However the feature is still too simple to put behind pay wall. A lot of popular words seem to be paid to practice like dog, ice, lie, is..
2 stars: The audio recording part of the app stops working from time to time. It would be great if it would provide some kind of feedback to indicate if your recording approximates the expected pronunciation. Sometimes you don't start speaking immediately and the sound graph looks completely different it would be great if the silence at the begining of the audio recording didn't show up on the graph.
