Sanako Pronounce is an easy solution for improving oral skills in a foreign language. You can easily transform text material into spoken audio for pronunciation and speech practice. Any text brought into Pronounce is automatically divided into sentences. You can then listen to a model reading of the sentence and make your own recording. After that, you will see your score and visual analysis of your pronunciation.
Boost your students’ confidence in speaking a foreign language with Sanako Connect’s Automated Pronunciation grading.
You can find Pronunciation activity with automated grading from Sanako Connect’s content authoring tools. It’s fast and easy to create these exercises as you can just copy-paste any text and the system transforms it into spoken audio.
Our native-like speech models are now available in English (UK and US), French (plus Canadian French), Spanish (plus US Spanish), German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (plus Brazilian Portuguese), Mandarin, Indonesian, Russian, Finnish, and Swedish.
Pronunciation exercises are a great tool to get your students active and speak more. Using an automatic pronunciation grading provides a safe and non-judgmental environment for your students to practice and improve their pronunciation without fear of embarrassment or criticism.
You can create multiple different types of pronunciation exercises including minimal pairs and tongue twisters to help your students contrast differences between phonemes. You can also hide the source text so students have to try to repeat what they hear, and by doing so help them develop their listening skills and comprehension.
As a teacher you can see your students’ progress along with their automated scoring. You can also listen and review their latest recordings manually if you wish and give additional personalized feedback on top of their automated score.
Imagine how long it would take for you to give precise and personalized feedback for a your whole class on every pronunciation attempt! Sanako Connect’s Automated Pronunciation Grading does all this work for you, saving a lot of time for you and enabling more feedback and practice time for your students.
