Dictation practice

Train your ear, one sentence at a time.

Play a short sentence, type exactly what you hear, and check it. You see the word you missed straight away, and every correct sentence adds to today’s points.

  • Short, real-life sentences
  • Three playback speeds
  • Capitals and punctuation don’t count

How it works

Listen. Type. Check.

  1. 1Listen

    Play a sentence

    Hear one short sentence at a time. Slow it to 0.5× or replay it as often as you need.

  2. 2Type

    Write what you hear

    Type the whole sentence. Capitals and punctuation don’t count, so you can focus on the words.

  3. 3Check

    See it land

    Correct words light up green and earn points. Miss one, and we show you the word we expected.

Why it sticks

Small wins you can see, every day.

See the word you missed

Words you got right turn green. The first word that differs shows in blue, so you know exactly what to listen for on the replay.

Points and a daily streak

Each word you type correctly is a point. Watch the week fill up and keep your streak going with a few sentences a day.

Lessons sorted into units

Browse by folder, pick up where you left off, and replay any sentence as often as you like at 0.5×, 0.75× or full speed.
