Choose a passage, listen one sentence at a time and type what you hear. Reveal the Chinese text when you are ready to compare it.

Before you use the result

Slow playback can help with a difficult line. Move back toward a natural speed once the words are familiar. Device voices vary in accent and quality.

To keep a word for later, use the text reader and save it to your desk. You can export your study data from Settings & data.
