Dictation Lab helps you practise English listening by dictation. A YouTube video plays one sentence at a time, you type what you hear, and every word is checked.

No, you can try it first. Guests can practise 5 sentences in each of their first 2 lessons. A free account keeps your progress, saved words and lessons on every device.

Pick a short lesson at your level or a little below. The library filters by level from A1 to C2, by length, topic and accent, and new accounts get three suggested lessons.

Yes. It works in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install. On phones, the replay, hint and check buttons stay above the keyboard.

Replay the sentence, or replay it slowly. Then take a hint: the first hint shows the first letter, the next one shows the whole word. You can also show the answer, but that sentence scores no points.

Yes, with a free account. Paste the link of a video with English subtitles and the sentences are made for you. If the subtitles are missing or poor, paste your own or create them with AI. A video that is already in the library opens its existing lesson.

Every finished sentence earns points, and each day you practise adds to your streak. From the Silver tier you get rest days each month that keep your streak when you miss a day: one at Silver and more at higher tiers.

Tap a word in a finished sentence to hear it, see its meaning and save it together with the sentence. Flashcards then bring each word back just before you are likely to forget it.

Free covers listening practice, reading, word packs and games, with some daily limits. Pro removes the limits on saved words and reviews and adds quizzes, a review schedule for hard sentences and more AI subtitle minutes.

Pay by bank transfer with the VietQR code on the Pro page. The amount and message are already filled in, and Pro usually turns on within a minute of the payment arriving.

Refunds are not automatic. Contact us and we will look at your case. The Terms of use explain the details.

Yes, on up to two devices at a time. Signing in on a third device signs out one of the others: a signed-out device first, otherwise the one that signed in earliest. Switching to new devices is limited each day.

No. Email addresses and phone numbers never appear on public pages. Others see your display name, photo, points and what you add to your profile, and a class teacher also sees your progress in that class.
