X8 User's Manual

The phrase you said will be recorded, automatically recognized and

compared to the model pronunciation. The results of the comparison

are given as Excellent, Good, Poor, Wrong or Please try again. The

Please try again result means that it is necessary to repeat the

phrase louder or to lower extraneous noises.

♦ Note: The quality of voice recognition strongly depends on the

level of external noise. Try to ensure silence in the room where

you practice pronunciation.

• If you want to listen to a model pronunciation of a phrase before

you make a voice input, touch

and make sure the First listen

to the phrase option is selected.

• If you want to listen to the phrase you said before the result

appears, touch

and check the Auto playback option

Use:

• Ð, Ï to move the highlight bar

• u, t to move between pages within a section

• or to listen to the pronunciation of the highlighted

sentence

• to set the internal speaker ON or OFF and to increase

the level of amplification of the microphone

• to learn more about correct pronunciation and recording

a phrase.

For successful practice, please take into account the following

recommendations:

1. Ensure silence at the time of use.

2. Choose the optimum distance from the built-in microphone

within a range of 3 – 6 inches (8 – 15 cm), in view of your habitual

loudness of pronunciation.

3. Do not say extraneous words or phrases into the microphone.

4. Try to say phrases distinctly and plainly yet not in clipped

syllables.

To check or uncheck an option touch the desired one with the stylus or

select it with Ð, Ï and press the SPACE key.
