Does sayit save my recordings, and can I listen back to old takes?
Every scored take is saved to your account with its audio, so you can replay it, compare it to an earlier attempt, and delete it whenever you want.
Yes — every scored take you make on an account is saved, with its audio, into your recordings history, so you can go back and listen to a take from last week, or from your first day, and see exactly what your voice sounded like at the time next to the score it got. Nothing about the scoring pipeline throws the recording away once it's been analyzed.
30-second version: Every take you record while signed in is stored with its audio and full result — verdicts, IPA, scores — and appears in your recordings history, browsable and replayable at any time. You can delete any individual recording whenever you like, and if you delete your account, its recordings go with it. Recordings are kept only for as long as your account is active.
What's actually in my recordings history?
Every take, not a curated sample. Each entry keeps the original audio, the target text you were reading (in reference mode), and the full scored result — per-word verdicts, IPA, accuracy, fluency, and the rest of the breakdown described in the accuracy, fluency, read, and pace scores. Because the full result is stored, not just a score, you can reopen an old take months later and see the same word-by-word detail you saw the moment you recorded it.
Can I replay the audio itself, not just see the score?
Yes — recordings are audio, not just numbers. Being able to hear your own take again, alongside the target pronunciation, is part of what makes the history useful for actual practice rather than just record-keeping: you can listen back to a take flagged for a specific sound and hear, in your own voice, exactly what the flagged version sounded like.
Can I compare an old take to a newer one?
Recordings of the same passage or word let you see your history over time rather than just the most recent result in isolation — which is the whole value of keeping the archive at all. Watching your accuracy on a passage you've read three times, or hearing how a sound you struggled with a month ago sounds now, is a different (and more motivating) kind of feedback than any single take's score.
What if I want a recording gone?
You can delete any recording at any time, and once deleted it's removed from sayit's live systems. If you delete your account entirely, its recordings are removed along with it. Nothing about recordings history is designed to be permanent against your wishes — it exists for your own reference, and you control what stays in it.
Are my recordings ever used for anything besides showing me my own results?
Only with your say. Recordings may optionally be used to help improve sayit's speech models — in the EU, UK and Switzerland that's a choice you make at sign-up, and elsewhere it starts on by default, but it's always adjustable in your settings regardless of region. That's a separate question from replay and history, which work the same either way; full details are on the privacy page.
