Evove Inc. Releases the Advanced Version of Saundz American English Pronunciation Curriculum
Kowloon, Hong Kong, August 6, 2014 (Newswire.com) - What is Saundz?
Saundz is an innovative education software, suitable for both individual and classroom use. The app’s fairly simple interface and a well-organized curriculum are intended to help non-native speakers of English perfect the American style pronunciation.
Featuring a native speaker Simone, whose digitally animated nature enables users to follow and mimic the process of sound articulation, Saundz is undoubtedly a significant shift from the already existing pronunciation teaching tools.
Simone is accompanied by a set of three additional, professionally recorded, native speakers who pronounce more than 400 words in English. Each word is followed by a definition and an illustration. This mini dictionary includes example sentences as well. Saundz also incorporates a record-and-compare function which enables users to note similarities between the pronunciation styles of native speakers and their own recordings.
What’s New in the Advanced Curriculum of Saundz?
In order to make students’ learning experience even more efficient, Saundz has recently undergone changes and several improvements have been added. The enhaced Saundz now includes:
- The IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) system of sound notation instead of previously used Arpabet system
- Representation of syllable structure in multi-syllabic words
- Clearly marked primary word stress in multisyllabic words
Availability
Saundz enables its users to practice pronunciation on the go, regardless of their location or the time zone.
Saundz web application can be launched from the official site: Saundz.com
It is also compatible with multiple platforms and devices. Saundz can be purchased at the App store for iPad users, as well as at the Windows 8 App Store.
