How to actually practise this
- 1
Choose read-aloud or freeform
Read a set line for exact per-word scoring, or answer in your own words for a fluency-first take.
Open Practice - 2
Record with the mic settings alone
sayit needs the raw signal — don't let your device "help" with echo cancellation or noise removal mid-take.
- 3
Read the transcript
Clear, unclear, or check — every word gets one of three verdicts, not a single sentence-level score.
- 4
Open a flagged word
See your IPA next to the target IPA for the exact sound that slipped.
- 5
What the feedback shows
- Pace — words per minute against a natural range
- Filler words — frequency of "um"/"uh"
- Pauses — where they fell and whether they helped or hurt
- Sounds — a verdict and IPA for every word
Straight answers
Is this the same as talking to a person?
No. There's no back-and-forth conversation here — you speak, and it's scored. For rehearsed dialogue with a tutor voice, see conversation practice.
Can I practise reading aloud instead of speaking freely?
Yes — read mode scores you against an exact script (reference mode), which is the most precise per-word feedback sayit gives.
Does my accent affect the score?
No. sayit is accent-tolerant: it flags sound contrasts that change meaning, not the accent itself. See the accent guides.
