This novel program allows the teacher to present the student with recorded examples of words and listen to how they repeat them.
The aim is to let the student listen carefully to a word and compare their own attempt to reproduce the sound. This process may be repeated as required before moving on to the next word, whilst a separate program allows the pupil to record and save their attempts for checking later https://bestwritingservice.com/
Visual display of phonemes
A useful feature of the program is a display of a mouth saying the appropriate phonemes. When required, this will 'mouth' the sequence making up a word. The editor supplied with Chatback enables the teacher to quickly prepare new word lists.

.... The pupil we were really targeting has made incredible progress. Not only in the aspect of speech but in his confidence in his own learning. Thanks for helping us out in making this available to our students.

.... He was truly amazed it was his voice he was hearing. He asked me to do it to prove it was actually recording. He is desperate now to make his voice sound like the 'teacher'. So many thanks brilliant resource - I wish you could have seen the look of amazement on his face followed by total concentration.
