When I record my voice, it scores my pronunciation and I can listen to it again until it's correct. I can easily listen to how to properly voice over. #### Cons I think the program was created only on sound and pronunciation. Besides, I am lacking in writing and reading texts. Perhaps, while so much infrastructure has been developed, the program can be divided into larger English sections. There are some parts that are wanted to be done in a day, these can get boring after a while. Therefore, it should be more diversified. --- ### The worse company ever - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Zdzislaw B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
