For teachers. Illustration, not a measured result. Not part of the rating. English Shadowing App turns a short video, audio clip or text into sentence-by-sentence speaking practice with pronunciation scores, so adult or post-18 English learners get repetition you would not have time to give one to one. It is for users aged 18 and over, not school pupils, and it records their voice.
- Training depends on plan or settings
- Doesn’t say if it is a processor or controller
- Doesn’t say where data is stored
- Minimum age 18+ in the UK (legal age to enter a binding agreement; not intended for users without that capacity): not suitable for under-18s
