How to do the 'Speak' activity

14 step guide for Eigo.AI student users.

Speak clearly with your own accent

Eigo.AI uses 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.

Listen to the example, then say the target sentence clearly at a comfortable pace. Speak compares the words it recognizes with the target sentence. The score does not separately assess individual sounds or fluency. A quiet room and a clear microphone recording can help the system hear you. If feedback seems inaccurate, try again when retries are available or ask your teacher.

You will then receive word-level feedback showing how closely the recognized words match the target sentence.

Green means a target word was recognized. Red means it was not recognized as a match. A red word can result from a missed word, background noise or a speech recognition error, so it does not automatically mean your pronunciation is wrong.
