Listening tool
English dictation practice with your own audio
Listen to a sentence, type what you hear, then compare your answer with the transcript.
ListenSlice combines sentence playback, a typing area and word-level answer comparison. You can practise material from the library or process your own English audio.
The comparison shows differences between your answer and the transcript. It does not determine whether a mistake came from hearing, vocabulary, memory, spelling or an incorrect transcript.
live demo — real audio, real scoring
How it works
01Pick one recording
Use prepared library material or a file you already want to understand.
02Try one sentence
Replay it and type the words you can hear. Check your answer when ready.
03Review the differences
Read the transcript, replay the difficult part and move on when you choose.
Read the feedback, not just the percentage
For example, typing “fifteen” instead of “fifty” is worth replaying. A misspelling may need a different response. Look at the marked words and listen again before deciding what to practise.
Reveal the text when you need help
Use the transcript control to check the sentence, then hide it for another attempt if useful. You can also ask the AI tutor about a sentence. Its answer can be mistaken and is not a teacher assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to supply a transcript?
No. Own-file practice uses an automatically generated transcript. Prepared library material already has segments. Either can contain errors, so the recording remains the reference.
Is dictation accuracy an English level or exam score?
No. It measures agreement with this transcript, not general listening proficiency or an IELTS band.
What can I try for free?
Start with the library or the on-page demo. The Free plan includes 3 own audio files per month, up to 15 minutes each, and 3 AI tutor questions per day. Some features require an account. See Pricing for current paid plans and allowances.
