Phonetic exercises make the basis for improving your pronunciation,

thus making it closer to the sample pronunciation of an American-

speaking person. Sample phrases are recorded by the American

speaker, processed and stored in the memory of your Partner

X8.

The phrases you pronounce are entered via the built-in microphone,

processed, and then compared to the sample. In the comparison

stage, a unique speech recognition technology is used to determine

which phrase was spoken. On the basis of this comparison the

degree of the closeness of your pronunciation to the model is

assessed.

• Select Accent Correction from the DICTIONARY section.

• Choose a topic.

• Touch or the REC key to make a voice input.

First you will listen to a phrase recorded by the American speaker (if

this function is enabled).

• Position yourself near the built-in microphone at a distance of 3 –

6 inches (8 – 15 cm) and say the phrase.
