In this context "I will say the word" makes more sense.

Thanks, Grammar Geek.

That's my transcript after hearing British English.
It sounded like 'should' when I heard her voice..
Is it impossible to use 'should'?

BarbaraPA · Answer

In your context, it doesn't make sense.

You could use it this way:

So, when I do this lesson, I should say the word that starts with the V sound first, right? I should say "vet" before "bet" and so on.

This shows that it's what you are expected/obligated to do to make the lesson work. This use is asking for confirmation that it's what you "should" do.

You could also use it this way:

I should say the word that starts with the V sound first. If I don't do that, then make a mark in the "no" box for that pairing.

I should say the word with the sound
