Can sayit score my grammar?
No. sayit scores pronunciation, fluency and intonation only — it doesn't check grammar or vocabulary, and it's honest about that being outside its scope.
No, sayit does not score grammar, and this is worth stating plainly rather than burying it: it's a pronunciation and fluency tool, scoring accuracy, fluency and intonation on whatever you say. Whether your sentence is grammatically correct, whether you chose the right word, whether your tense agreement is right — none of that is measured. If grammar checking is what you need, sayit isn't the tool, and it won't pretend otherwise.
30-second version: sayit's scoring covers how clearly you said something — accuracy per sound, fluency, intonation. It has no grammar-checking or vocabulary-scoring feature anywhere in the product. If your English is grammatically fine but hard to understand, sayit is the right tool. If your pronunciation is fine but your grammar needs work, it's the wrong one.
What sayit actually scores, versus what it doesn't
| Sayit scores | Sayit does not score |
|---|---|
| Per-phoneme clarity against target IPA | Grammar correctness |
| Fluency (pacing, pauses) | Vocabulary or word choice |
| Intonation | Sentence structure |
| Completeness (in reference mode) | Spelling or writing |
Why this matters for choosing a tool
A lot of English-learning tools blur pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary into one general "score," which can be genuinely unhelpful — a low number doesn't tell you which of three very different problems you actually have. sayit stays narrow on purpose: if the number is low, it's specifically about how clearly you said the sounds, not about whether the sentence itself was well formed.
Where this narrowness is a strength
- Feedback is unambiguous — a flagged word means a pronunciation issue, full stop, not "something in this sentence might be off."
- It doesn't waste your practice time second-guessing whether a low score was about grammar or delivery.
- Because it's not trying to do everything, the one thing it does — phoneme-level scoring — gets real depth: target IPA, a concrete fix, tracked over time.
Where you'll need a separate tool
- Grammar correction, in the moment or after the fact, needs a dedicated grammar checker.
- Vocabulary range and word-choice feedback likewise needs a different tool.
- If you're preparing for an exam like IELTS that grades grammar and vocabulary as separate criteria, sayit's exam-mode band estimate explicitly covers only pronunciation and fluency — pair it with grammar practice elsewhere.
How to tell which one is actually your gap
A quick, honest self-test: write down what you meant to say, then compare it to a transcript of what you actually said (many transcription tools, including the one behind sayit's own analysis, will give you this). If the words on the page are grammatically fine but a listener still struggled to follow you out loud, that's a pronunciation and fluency issue — sayit's territory. If the transcript itself has tense, article, or agreement errors even though you were clearly understood, that's grammar — a separate tool's job. Plenty of learners have some of both, which is exactly why sayit doesn't try to be the one tool for everything.
Who should use what
If pronunciation and fluency are your actual bottleneck — people ask you to repeat yourself, or you're not sure a specific sound landed — sayit is built for exactly that, and it's free to start. If grammar is the gap, look elsewhere for that half; sayit doesn't try to cover it.
