English Pronunciation Awabe: A product review

I first started using an electronic pronunciation dictionary in 2016 while taking my ‘Phonetics and Phonology’ course. I am still using that application “Pronunciation Dictionary” developed by Bibooki. The core difference between that app and English Pronunciation Awabe is the later one provides a lot of specific pronunciation drills which are helpful for pronunciation remedy. The points below are my comments on this app:

Good Sides

It is easy to use.

Useful for practicing and correcting pronunciation.

Provides both British and American examples.

Recommendations

There is room for improving the interface.

No phonetic or phonemic transcriptions provided.

Full of advertisements, therefore very disturbing.

No option for offline use.

The sound recognition tool troubles sometimes.

Overall Rating

3.5 Out of 5
