This Free download of e-nunciation is an In-App “Lite” version. In this version, a sample of sounds with their video and audio files is activated. The basic recorder on the bottom toolbar is available, however, the recording function for words and sentences is available only when the full version is “unlocked”. Below is a complete description of the full version.

e-nunciation is an interactive tool for practicing American English pronunciation.
In this application, you will find close-up videos, side-view animations, lists of words
and sentences with matching audio, and a recording function that allows you to
record your own voice.

Features:

*Video
Close-up videos and side-view animations clearly show the movement of the lips,
tongue and air flow. Helpful arrows show the key points to focus on. Videos can be
enlarged, and a helpful “scrubbing” bar allows you to scroll through the video at
different speeds or stop anywhere on the video.

*Audio
Over 1000 audio files of words and sentences with audio tracks provide a great
resource for practicing sounds as they appear at the beginning, middle or end of a
word. There are also lists of “comparison” words to practice sounds that are
similar to each other.

*Recording
e-nunciation contains a recording function that allows you to compare your own
pronunciation with that of a native speaker. Once you make a recording and press
the play-back button, the recorder will play the word or sentence as spoken by a
native speaker, and then it will play your recording. This provides the ability for real-time
comparisons, which will help you with both speaking and listening.

*User Friendly
The interface is designed to be easy to navigate, with labels that are easy to
understand. Sounds are divided into basic groups: Consonants (B, C, D...), Combinations (Ch, Sh,
Th), and Vowels (A, E, I, O, U). One special group is Final R. These are sounds
produced when R is at the end of a word.

We hope you enjoy using e-nunciation, and we hope it gives you the confidence
to speak more freely in any situation. Remember that pronunciation is like a sport -
the more you practice, the better you get!
