Just like other languages in the world, English has many similar words that are difficult to distinguish by listening. That’s why you need to be able to confirm whether you heard them right. The key to gaining expertise is in mastering dictation! When you listen to the speaker and type in the words, the program will check them, letter by letter. Because it only takes a short period of time, you can use it on the bus or subway. You can also use it as a TED viewer through the video function with the subtitles activated. The notable feature is that a huge number of TED lectures are constantly added, which means an unlimited amount of available learning materials for you. TEDICT allows you to download as many TED lectures as you want, so you’ll always get new learning materials.
