# English Dictation

## Summary

English Dictation (https://englishdictation.org) is an English dictation practice tool. You listen to an English sentence, type what you hear, check your answer against the original word by word, and review the sentences you got wrong. The product is known in other languages as 英语听写 (Simplified Chinese), 英文聽寫 (Traditional Chinese), dictado en inglés (Spanish), dictée en anglais (French), 英語 ディクテーション (Japanese), and 영어 받아쓰기 (Korean).

## What It Does

English Dictation turns English dictation practice into a repeatable daily habit for building real listening skill. Instead of passive listening, you actively transcribe full sentences, so your ears learn to catch weak forms, linked speech, and the small function words that passive listening lets you skip. The app also supports shadowing (speaking practice on the same sentences), a review book for mistakes, structured courses, practice statistics, playback settings, an AI sentence assistant, and private sentence upload. It is a dedicated dictation tool, not a general English listening website.

## Who It Is For

- Learners (roughly intermediate to advanced) who read English fine but lose the thread at natural speed.
- Test candidates (TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS, PTE) who need full-speed listening accuracy without transcripts.
- Professionals who work in English and want to follow fast, connected speech in meetings and calls.
- Self-learners who want a structured, low-friction routine of about 10–20 minutes a day.
- Anyone preparing for a specific situation (job interview, customer service, study abroad) who wants to practice on real audio from that exact context.

## How It Works

1. Listen — play an English sentence at natural speed; replay or slow it down as needed.
2. Type — write exactly what you hear, without skipping words or guessing from context.
3. Check — reveal the original and see a word-by-word comparison of what you caught, missed, or misheard.
4. Review — difficult sentences are saved to your review book and come back in later sessions until they feel easy.
5. (Optional) Shadow and ask — repeat the same sentences out loud to train rhythm, stress, and pronunciation, and use the AI sentence assistant for any sentence you are stuck on.
