Dictation Trainer
For learners who read English fine but can't hear it
Dictation Trainer is a web app for training English listening through sentence-by-sentence dictation. Play a sentence, type what you hear, and get instant word-by-word feedback that shows exactly which sounds you missed — weak forms, linking, and reductions. A constantly growing library of studio-quality audio lessons — organized into structured series such as a TOEIC listening course and a step-by-step sentence-building path — already spans CEFR levels A1–B2 and is expanding toward complete A1–C2 coverage, with new lessons added every week. The app is especially beginner-friendly: short everyday sentences, calm pacing, and word-by-word feedback help early learners improve fast.
What sets it apart is the practice loop around the lessons. A mistakes notebook automatically collects every sentence you miss, and daily smart review keeps resurfacing them until you clear each one with a perfect, hint-free attempt. A lesson studio turns your own material into complete dictation lessons — AI generates the audio and per-word IPA — and they live in your personal library, free to practice forever and shareable with friends or students. Sentence translations are available in 11 languages and counting, with the interface localized in English, Korean, and Chinese. Free to start — preview lessons need no signup.

Comments
I built this for myself. I live in Korea and I've been learning English for years — I could read technical docs fine, but the moment someone spoke at normal speed, half the sentence just disappeared. More listening didn't fix it: I'd play a podcast, follow the gist, and learn nothing about what I'd actually missed. Dictation did fix it — but doing it by hand is tedious. Find audio, pause, rewind, type it out, then compare against a transcript word by word. So I automated the tedious part. You hear a sentence, type it, and it immediately shows which words you missed, with the correct answer, a translation, and the IPA. Everything you get wrong goes into a mistakes notebook and comes back the next day until you can type it cleanly with no hints. It's still early and I'm adding lessons every week. If you try it, I'd genuinely like to hear where it feels wrong — especially from teachers, since a few have started building their own lessons in the studio.
