How does speaking practice use my microphone?

Speaking exercises ask you to listen and then say a phrase aloud. Select Speak, allow microphone access when your browser asks, and Langsly scores your pronunciation.

How to do it

  1. Listen to the model audio. Use the speaker button to hear it again.
  2. Select Speak. The first time, your browser asks for microphone permission; choose Allow.
  3. Say the text while Listening… is shown. Each attempt stops after 15 seconds.
  4. Review your Pronunciation, Accuracy, Fluency, and Completeness scores, then choose Try again or Continue.
  5. Not ready to speak? Select Not now to move on.
