❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How does speech recognition work?
The app uses your browser's built-in speech recognition technology. It listens to your speech and compares it to the expected text, providing feedback on accuracy and pronunciation. The app automatically switches between online (cloud-based) and offline (on-device) recognition depending on your connection.
Can I use speech recognition in different languages?
Yes! The app supports English (US), Portuguese (Brazil), French, Spanish, and Italian. Change your language preference from the Help (?) icon. Your selection is saved and applies to all practice sessions.
How do I use bookmarks?
Tap the bookmark icon (📑) next to the line progress indicator to mark important lines. Use the "← Prev" and "Next →" buttons to navigate between bookmarks. Bookmarks are saved separately for each script set and persist across sessions.
Is my data private and secure?
Yes! All your data is stored locally on your device. We don't collect, store, or transmit your personal information or audio recordings. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Can I use the app offline?
Yes! Once installed as a PWA, the app works completely offline. You can practice scripts, access your personal library, and use all features without an internet connection.
What's the difference between free and premium?
Free users can access the public library and create up to 3 personal script sets. Premium users get unlimited personal sets, My Words speech customization, and export functionality.
How do I backup my data?
Use the Export functionality to save your personal library and settings as JSON files. Premium users can also export their My Words dictionary.
The app isn't recognizing my speech properly
Ensure you're in a quiet environment, speak clearly, and check your microphone permissions. Premium users can use My Words to train the system for better recognition.
How do I update the app?
If installed as a PWA, updates happen automatically when you're online. You'll see a notification when an update is available. Click "Refresh" to get the latest version.
