Capiamoci vs SpeakÆpp

If you have at least a basic knowledge of a foreign language and want to make the leap forward, if you have reached a point where you can NOT make progress anymore, or if you simply decided to go it alone and take control of what to study and how to study, Capiamoci is the right tool for you. The contents you can use to improve your knowledge of a new language are endless and of all kinds. What you need is plain text with no images or anything, preferably in the language you're studying, but it can also be in your own language. The contents can be the transcripts that many podcasts allow you to download, one or more chapters of a book that you have purchased in digital format, the lyrics of a song, an article on a topic of your interest that you find on thousands of Internet sites, a list of useful sentences or idioms or grammar constructions that you want to learn to recognize and say. The texts thus obtained, in any language among the 39 supported by Apple devices, will automatically be broken down into sentences, becoming the basis on which to study. Thanks to Apple's 'Text to Speech' function, in practice it is as if they were also Audio files, because you can have them read by any of the voices available for the language you are studying, sentence by sentence, word by word, you will thus have the power of an Audio file, manageable with the simplicity of a text file. Listen to the contents with the voice chosen by you from those available, changing the tone, speed and volume if you wish. Online translators such as those of Google, Deepl, Bing... have greatly improved and will continue to improve, also thanks to artificial intelligence, therefore their translations (of the contents you will find) are more than valid for the study of the languages. There are different types of practices you can do with the texts that you will get: listening, dictation, reading, speaking, audiobook, vocabulary... For example you learn a new language above all by listening to it. The best listening practice is done by listening to the audio without images, therefore no TV, no Video, but listening to the reading of the texts you have in your library, listening to podcasts, the radio... Then there's the dictation, dictating in the language you want to learn serves to enhance your listening skills, improving your understanding of the spoken language, plus you'll also improve your spelling. With dictation you are forced to listen and process every word you hear... Reading, reading with Capiamoci gives you a whole series of advantages, the most important of which is being able to listen to the pronunciation of each word of the text... And to talk? to practice speaking it is NOT necessary to talk to another person, rather it is better to talk to yourself, because you can repeat a word or phrase, as many times as you need, which you wouldn't do with another person. With Capiamoci you can also check if what you said and how you said it, is correct or not... And so on. Increase learning opportunities by adding links to audio and video files to the Library (eg from App Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube...) in the languages you are studying, organizing all this content within Capiamoci. These audio/video links will not take up space on your device, by playing them you will be redirected to the respective APPs and from there you can go directly to Capiamoci at any time with a tap on its link. Fill the Library with text and links to audio and video files, organize them as you prefer. You can also build different Dictionaries starting from the words contained in the texts that you will obtain, you will have different techniques available to study them. With a specific test you will be able to verify the goodness of your pronunciation in the language you are studying. Plus many other things that you will discover using Capiamoci.
