FAQ
Questions, answered
Is the pronunciation tool really free?
Yes. The tool is completely free, needs no sign-up and has no usage limits. It runs entirely in your web browser.
Which English accents can I listen to?
You can switch between American (US), British (UK), Australian (AU) and Indian (IN) English, depending on the voices installed on your device. Chrome and Edge usually offer the widest choice.
How does the speaking practice work?
In Practice mode your browser’s built-in speech recognition listens while you read the text aloud. We highlight which words were recognised and give you an accuracy score, so you know exactly which words to work on.
Is my voice recorded or uploaded?
We never store your voice. Speech recognition is handled by your browser; depending on your browser vendor, audio may be processed by their speech service, but nothing is sent to or saved by Pronunciation App.

Yes. After you press Listen, click any word to hear it on its own and see its IPA transcription, part of speech and a short definition.
Does it work on mobile phones?
Yes. The tool works on modern Android and iOS browsers. Available voices depend on your phone’s text-to-speech settings.
