Highlight Incorrect Words
Follow the text with your eyes at the speaker's speed and click the instant a word differs.
The rule
- 1Keep your finger or cursor on the line you are hearing.
- 2Click immediately — do not go back, because you will lose the next words.
- 3Most swapped words sound similar: 'affect' for 'effect', 'form' for 'from'.
- 4Wrong clicks cost marks, so only click what you clearly heard as different.
Worked example
Text: 'the affect of rainfall' / Audio: 'the effect of rainfall'
- Similar sound
- Click 'affect' at once
- Keep reading forward
