Features & Functionality

What is dictation practice?

Dictation practice involves watching a video segment and typing exactly what you hear. This helps improve your listening comprehension, spelling, and writing skills. After you submit your answer, you can check it against the correct transcript.

Can I adjust the video playback speed?

Yes! You can use the YouTube player's built-in playback speed controls to slow down or speed up the video. This is helpful if you find the normal speed too fast or too slow for your level.

Can I replay video segments?

Absolutely! You can replay each segment as many times as you need. There's no limit. We encourage you to listen multiple times until you understand and can type the content accurately.

What are transcripts and how do I use them?

Transcripts are complete written texts of all the audio/video content. You can switch to the Transcript tab to read along while watching, or click on any text segment to jump to that specific part of the video.

Can I jump to a specific part of the video?

Yes! In the Transcript tab, click on any text segment to jump directly to that part of the video. You can also use the YouTube player's timeline to seek to any point manually.

Learning Tips

How many times should I replay a segment?

There's no fixed number. Replay each segment as many times as needed until you can understand and type it correctly. Even native speakers sometimes need to listen multiple times to new content.

Should I start with easier or harder content?

Start with content that's slightly below or at your current level. If you understand about 70-80% on first listen, that's perfect. Too easy is boring, too hard is frustrating.

How often should I practice?

Consistency is key! Even 15-20 minutes daily is better than occasional long sessions. Try to practice at least 3-4 times per week for best results.

What should I do if I can't understand a segment?

Try slowing down the playback speed, listen multiple times focusing on different parts, check the transcript to see what you're missing, then listen again without reading.
