How does 4ToSpeak work?

• Order: see the sentence in the language you are learning and rebuild it in English from a bank of words.
• Translate: see the English and build the sentence in the language you are learning.
• Listen: hear the sentence spoken, then type what you understood.
• Speak: say the sentence aloud and see how close you were.

Your voice is turned into text by a speech-recognition model, which is compared with the target sentence word by word. Accents and punctuation do not count against you, and the pass mark is forgiving because recognisers sometimes mishear. It checks that you said the right words, not that your accent is perfect.

By the time you speak, you have seen the sentence, built it, heard it and typed it. That repetition from four angles means the spoken attempt is informed, so you practise saying the right thing instead of guessing aloud.
