Share your ideas with your own accent
Spoken Discuss replies use a global-English speech recognition model designed to recognize a range of English accents. Our approach is informed by English as a Lingua Franca (ELF): using English to communicate with people from different language backgrounds. You do not need to copy a British or American accent.
Focus on explaining your ideas clearly in English at a comfortable pace. Your spoken replies are turned into text. Discuss evaluates your responses for grammar, vocabulary, coherence, relevance and supporting detail, rather than scoring your accent or individual sounds.
Speech recognition can sometimes miss or change a word. If the tutor misunderstands you, explain your idea again or type a clarification. After submitting, check the conversation transcript alongside your feedback and ask your teacher if something seems inaccurate.
