The perfect application for learning English

Good

ディクテーションにもシャドーイングにも!

よく作り込まれている。
ディクテーションだけでなくシャドーイングにも使える。
リピート再生もできて、すごい。
一見すると洗練されていないように見えるが、無駄が削がれた、必要な機能に絞った考えられたアプリだと使い出してから感じた。

iOSが持っている機能やTEDが提供している機能を組み合わせて、学習をしやすいようにとても工夫しているように思う。
有料版を購入してよかった。

デフォルトの文字読み上げのボイスはiOSのせいか、聞くには堪えないものだったので、Accessability > VoiceOver > Speech > Additional Voicesから、良さそうな声を追加(例えばSiriの声とか)した上で、読み上げの声を変更する箇所(辞書などの画面の左下設定アイコン > TTS Voice)で変更するのをおすすめ。(それもiOSの方でいい声が出れば自分で設定で変えれるようになっているところが、このアプリ開発者のすごいところだと思う)

手軽にリスニングのトレーニングが出来る

リスニングの力がつきます。豊富なテーマから自分の興味あるテーマを選べることも気に入っています。

理想に近い

TEDを聴きながら意味を調べたりディクテーションしたいと思っていましたが、いざ動画を見始めると途中で止めて文字を書いたり意味を調べたりはなかなかハードルが高くて難しいことでした。
このアプリは動画を細切れで見せてくれるのでどちらもスムーズにできて、まさにやりたいことにぴったりでした。
惜しむらくは文字が*で示されているのでヒントになり純粋な聞き取りの邪魔になること。それもまあ、画面を見なければよいでしょう。
