What does sayit's progress dashboard actually track over time?

sayit's progress dashboard exists because a single score only answers "how did this take go" — it takes a run of takes over time to answer the more useful question, "am I actually improving." The dashboard pulls together your score history into a trend, your streak, and a per-sound read on where you're strong and where you're still shaky, all built from your real recorded history rather than a single snapshot.

30-second version: Your overall score is plotted over time as a trend line, so a single bad take doesn't read as a decline and a single great one doesn't read as mastery — the moving pattern across recent sessions is what actually matters. Alongside it: your current streak, mastery across the 44 sounds of English, and a data export if you want your own history outside the app.

Why a trend line instead of just my most recent score?

Because pronunciation practice is noisy day to day — a slightly tired voice, a harder passage, background noise, or simply an off morning can all pull a single take's score down without meaning anything about your actual trajectory. A trend, smoothed across recent sessions, filters that noise out and shows the pattern underneath it: whether your scores are genuinely climbing, holding steady, or dipping over a meaningful stretch of time, rather than reacting to whatever happened in your last five minutes of speaking.

What's actually feeding the dashboard?

Every scored take you've made, not a curated sample — the same underlying practice history that powers your recordings archive and your sound mastery view. Because it's built from real usage rather than a periodic test, the dashboard updates continuously as you practice, and it reflects genuinely how you've been speaking across whatever text you happened to be reading, not a single standardized assessment.

Does it break progress down by sound, or just show one overall trend?

Both. The overall trend answers "am I generally improving," while the per-sound mastery view answers the more actionable question: "which specific sounds are actually moving, and which ones are stuck." A learner whose overall score is climbing steadily while one particular consonant stays flat gets a very different signal from the per-sound view than they would from the trend line alone — which is exactly the situation flashcard decks built from your mistakes are designed to catch and act on.

Can I get my data out of the app?

Yes — your history is exportable, so your progress isn't locked to viewing it only inside sayit's own dashboard if you'd rather analyze it yourself or keep a copy.

What's on the dashboard at a glance

How often should I actually check it?

There's no required cadence, but a trend line is most useful over a real stretch of time — a single day's fluctuation won't tell you much, while a week or two of consistent practice usually will. Checking in periodically rather than obsessing over every single take's number tends to give a truer read on where you actually stand.

Try it

Open Progress in sayit after a few sessions — the trend line and per-sound breakdown get more informative the more takes you have behind them, so it's worth checking back after a week of regular practice rather than just once.
