American Stories presents adapted works of American literature — Twain, Poe, O. Henry and more — read slowly and clearly. Narrative English is harder than news English: longer sentences, richer vocabulary, and dialogue, which makes these episodes excellent advanced dictation practice.
Hit "Start dictation practice" and the AI slices all 11 minutes into sentence segments, right in your browser.
Expect longer sentences and richer vocabulary — replay freely, and slow the speed if a sentence runs away from you.
Switch to Dictation mode, type each sentence, and get a word-by-word diff with your accuracy score.
