What is Instant Access?

For institutional users, Instant Access provides you full access to Pronunciator for the duration of the current session without needing to register. No record of your quiz scores or progress is kept (unlike when you register, which allows you to track progress and store quiz scores indefinitely). Instant Access is available through your public library, university, or organization’s website link to Pronunciator.

What is a Personalized Course?

A Personalized Course is a series of lessons created specifically for you, taking into account the things you love (or your occupation), the learning goals you have, your skill level in the language, how much time you have available each day, how motivated you are, and how many months you want to study.

Why are my pronunciation scores so low?

If you are receiving unusually low scores on exercises or quizzes that use our voice analysis algorithm, here are some tips that can help: 1) Be sure you are in a quiet location. The voice analysis algorithm is highly sensitive to noise. The quieter the room, the better your results will be. 2) Record your voice using our Voice Comparison drill. When it is played back to you, listen for volume or quality issues. 3) If your scores are consistently “20” or “25,” your mic may not be connected. 4) If your score is “-100”, refresh your browser, because you have lost your connection to the server.
