Perfect for Checking and Studying English Pronunciation! How to Effectively Use Free Text-to-Speech Software

Hello, thank you for always using Ondoku.

There are many hidden possibilities for how to use text-to-speech software.

This time, let's focus on English study methods among them!

Benefits of Studying English with Text-to-Speech Software

Text-to-speech software is not human.

Therefore, you can easily have it do things that you might feel a bit hesitant to ask a person to do.

For example:

• Have unfamiliar words read to you immediately
• Handle repeated reading without any trouble
• English pronunciation is often better than that of school teachers

There are benefits such as these.

Listening and reading are very important to become able to speak English.

• Word pronunciation practice
• Shadowing

English study methods that incorporate reading aloud, such as these, are considered very important.

Under these circumstances, English study methods using text-to-speech functions are expected to become even more common in the future.

There is a reason for this.

In fact, the English read by text-to-speech software is actually...

• More accurate in pronunciation
• Closer to native pronunciation

...than the English read by school teachers.

Moreover:

• Reading passages aloud is also in native pronunciation
• There are no unknown words
• Can be read aloud any number of times
• No need to worry about time or place

It is flexible in many ways.

Once you get to know and use text-to-speech software, it is so convenient that you will wonder, "Why haven't I used such a convenient tool until now?"

How to Use Text-to-Speech Software for English Study

Specific ways to use it for English study include:

• Reading unfamiliar words with text-to-speech software
• Creating original vocabulary lists with text-to-speech software
• Creating original shadowing materials using text-to-speech software

These are some examples.

Reading unfamiliar words with text-to-speech software

The word reading function is familiar from tools like Google Translate.

It is a very popular feature included in many English vocabulary websites.

English word pronunciation can be difficult to remember until you get used to it.

Reading aloud repeatedly makes it easier for the memory to stick.

Creating original vocabulary lists with text-to-speech software

When watching video sites like YouTube, there are videos and audio that read English words endlessly for passive learning.

Editions such as greetings or words necessary for daily life are uploaded.

However, there are no videos that accurately read only the specific range required for school studies.

You might think, "I wish there were."

In that case, if it doesn't exist, you should just make it.

With Ondoku, downloading audio is also possible!

Why not try creating English audio for studying?

Creating original shadowing materials using text-to-speech software

Are you familiar with the study method called shadowing?

When you look up shadowing, it is explained as follows:

It is a practice where you follow the audio by speaking out loud exactly like a shadow (shadow), trailing 1 to 2 words behind. Basically, it is done without looking at the English text. This is the most fundamental training for those aiming to become professional simultaneous interpreters. Its high effectiveness has been recognized in fields such as second language acquisition research, and it has spread to general English learners.

Shadowing is an exercise that uses the "ears" and "mouth" to link "sound" and "meaning."

By performing shadowing, you can expect three effects:

• Strengthening listening skills
• Strengthening speaking skills
• Strengthening vocabulary skills

It is very effective for improving English conversation, and it is a study method that I highly recommend for those aiming to improve their English in a short period.

I recommend it because my own English skills improved surprisingly well when I studied with shadowing.

There are many shadowing materials available in the world.

However, whether there is one for the specific English text you want read is another matter.

In such cases, please try using text-to-speech software.

The English pronunciation of text-to-speech software is truly beautiful. It will surely be effective for your shadowing practice.
