A TEACHER'S VIEWPOINT
“This is a fantastic learning tool for really getting students to work on the specific sounds in words as well as taking into account stress and intonation. The visualisation is a very useful way to illustrate areas that need more attention and can be practised again and again. As an ESL teacher, I have recommended it to all my students so that they can work on their pronunciation skills at home and have used it in class on many occasions.” Anna D, Bristol, UK

Say It offers large American and British English dictionaries - they can take a few minutes to download, depending on your WIFI access.

可視化

聞くだけではどこが違うのか分からなかった自分の発音の間違いに気付く体験をしました。
ぜひ、American Englishバージョンも作ってほしいです!

Developer Response ,

I am pleased to say that we are aiming to launch a new version of the app in the next few weeks which will include 40,000 American English audio recordings. We hope you enjoy using the app!

おすすめ (ただ旧版の購入者はアップデートの際に注意が必要)

このアプリは、ESU (English Speaking Union) President's Award in 2016を受賞しているだけあってよくできています。機能としては申し分なく、おすすめです。
ただ、以前購入した人はアップデートの際に注意が必要です。
このアプリは、2018年1月20日のアップデートで買い切りのアプリからアプリ内の購入に変わっています。
私も含めて、以前買い切りのバージョンを購入した人の中にはアップデート後にリストアができず、未購入と表示されることがあるようです。それでリストアできずカスタマーサービスに連絡しました。やりとり後にコードを送ってもらいリストアできました。こういう連絡をするのは初めてでしたが意外にスムーズでした。私が連絡する際には以下ようにしました。参考までに書いておきます。

Apple IDのメアドから英語でリストアできない旨のメッセージと2枚のスクリーンショットを送った。
スクリーンショットは、リストアできないiphoneの画面と購入した際にAppleよりメールで送られてきた領収書をキャプチャしたものを送った。(領収書のキャプチャにはApple ID、領収書の日時、注文番号や書類番号等が載っている。)
これを自分のimgurにアップして、そのURLをメールで送った。
Apple IDのメアドを使って連絡したのは、これが本人確認にもなるだろうと考えたからで、またimgurを使ったのは、セキュリティ上、添付ファイルより良いかなと考えたから。その後、すぐにリストアできるコードを送ってもらい、itune storeのホーム画面の下にあるところから、そのコードを入力しリストアできるようになった。

タイピングの遅いもの ,

It does not work.

Additional sound data does not work and what's more the app ask me to pay again for the same option I bought.
