Type what you hear. Find what you miss.
Listen to a line of real English, type it out and check it word by word. You see exactly which words slipped past — not just a score.
- No account
- Real videos and spoken sentences
- Checked word by word
Listen, type, check.
Each exercise is a short video or a set of spoken sentences, one line at a time.
Listen
Play the line. Hear it again as often as you need — there’s no timer.
Type what you hear
Write it the way you heard it. Capital letters and punctuation don’t count.
Check it word by word
Green is right, red is wrong, grey is a word you missed. Then on to the next line.
Real English, at real speed.
Exercises come from short YouTube videos of people talking, and from sentence sets read aloud by your browser’s voice. Each one is picked at random.
- At the end: how many words you caught, and every line you missed.
- Try another for a new exercise — a video or a sentence set.
- No sign-up and nothing saved — just practice.
Questions, answered.
Is it free?
Yes. You practise in your browser, with no account and no card. Nothing is saved, so every visit starts fresh.
Where do the exercises come from?
Short YouTube videos we’ve split into lines, and sentence sets read aloud by your browser’s voice. You get one at random, and Try another picks a new one.
How is my answer checked?
Word by word, against what was said. Capital letters and punctuation don’t count. Right words turn green, wrong ones red, and the ones you missed grey.
Can I use my own YouTube video?
Not here. In the WiseLingo app you can paste a YouTube link and turn the video into a dictation.
How do I keep improving?
In the WiseLingo app: dictation sets that keep your progress, reviews that bring back the sets you’re due to practise, and your own videos. It’s free while we’re in beta.
