This app is for registering English phrases and training these.
You register the phrase which is used by a conversation well or something like a proverb that you want to use (figure out reflexively when you hear it or looked).
You can learn phrases effectively and exactly, because of using plural senses(looking/hearing/voicing/typing).
[Training]
- Basic : Memorize training. (It is such as the learning by flash card)
- Pronounce: Pronounce training with device dictation functionality.
- Writing: Type training with keyboard.
[Feature]
・Registration of the phrase image
You can register an image when you register a phrase. It is shown while you train phrase, so that you can memorize phrases easily by associating phrase with image.
You search images on Flicker in this App, which are the photos imaged by people in the world from the phrase.
・Hear phrases
You can hear the phrase when you train.(It is the computer-generated simulation of human speech.) Therefore you can learn precise pronunciation.
・Pronunciation training using the voice recognition
You can learn precise pronunciation as you voice a phrase and see unrecognized words. The first unrecognized word will be colored differently so that you can see easily which word was wrong.
・Writing training(Typing)
You can learn proper spelling of the phrase by writing training.
The difference of the upper or lower case of the letter and punctuation marks like the period, comma and question are ignored. The requirement work is minimum because of this feature.
・App manages your acquirement degree of each phrases
When you start training with the automatic mode, the lower degree phrase come out earlier.
(After you train repeatedly for around one week, and an acquirement degree rises, its appearance becomes gradually infrequent)
