hello
i am going to take Toefl ibt and i need name of a software that you can say a word in microphone and then software recognize how much correct you have said it.
i need this for making my speaking better for the speaking part of Toefl ibt.
i have rosetta stone but you must say sentences that are prebuilt in the software and you can not specify a separate word like "abundant" and say it again and again to make better your accent,i mean i need a software that you can specify a word and then repeat it to learn how to say it.

Hi Anon Did you know that pronunciation of individual words is only part of what is evaluated in the speaking section of the TOEFL? There are a number of other things that are taken into consideration in your score, such as pace, intonation, usage and content -- and they are ALL important. I am a native speaker of American English, and an ESL teacher.

  • Any software programs that I have ever tested gave me quite a bit of incorrect feedback about my own pronunciation, so I personally don't see much value in them as tools for evaluating your spoken English.
