Improve Your English with Infinite English - Demo

I'm going to do a brief demo of Infinite English capabilities. I'm on an iPhone on a 4G connection. I could be on 3G or WiFi just the same, and I could be on an Android or a tablet. iOS or Android. One of the beauties of Infinite English is you can pick content from anywhere. Unlimited content on the interest for practicing things that are interesting to you. In this case I'm going to take an article from a site in the US called the Daily Beast. And I'm just going to copy a short segment of it for this demonstration. I'm going to open up Infinite English. Now, I could have created that story from a business document or an electronic book, or I can type it in, or a vocabulary list. All of those could be sources for my content. Give it a name so you can recall it later. I think something has to do with staff, and I'm just going to call this "news". Just pasted that in there. Now I'm going to create the story and send it up to the cloud so that it is ready for processing. There, I have the story ready to be processed. I can do a number of things that are very much like being with a tutor. First one is, I can read it out loud and get immediate feedback on my pronunciation and fluency. I can play it and listen to myself. I can have Vocey, our internal tutor, read it back to me and hear how she pronounces it. I can say the words again and again with Vocey for pronunciation and I can explain in my native language. I can pick any one of 64 languages in order to see my translations, definitions and menus. I'm going to start my recording: "After Donald Graham, The Washington Post Co. chairperson made the surprising announcement that the paper had just been sold to Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos for $250 million, the staff was at a loss for words. 'Everyone in the office was immediately quieted', a staffer told Huff. Post. Post publisher, Katherine Weymouth, acknowledged that 'an announcement of this sort inevitably causes anxiety and uncertainty,' " Ok, I've received my feedback from the cloud. Green means that I pronounced it well, it would easily be understood by English speakers. Yellow means, probably could have been pronounced better, but ok. Red means the word was difficult to recognize; and if it was black, it would mean that I hadn't even said the word like the last words that I didn't read. These two red words I think I intentionally made mistakes, calling "room" "office", and "chairman" "chairperson", in order to give you some feedback. Now, I can listen to myself and hear how I sounded: "After Donald Graham, The Washington Post Co. chairperson made the surprising announcement that the paper had just been sold to Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos for $250 million, the staff was at a loss for words. 'Everyone in the office was immediately quieted' " So that was me reading back and I can practice that. I can also have Vocey, our internal tutor, read back to me: "After Donald Graham, The Washington Post Co. chairman made the surprising announcement that the paper had just been sold to Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos for 250 million dollars, the staff was at a loss for words." So she can read to you, and you can hear how an English speaker on this unlimited content would pronounce it. You can also have them say individual words: "staff", "everyone", "quieted", "immediately", "Amazon" And then I can get definitions for all of these words too. And it will come up in my native language. Here I think I have Italian chosen, but it could be one of any 64 languages. "surprising", "paper", "announcement" And so I can practice all of the typical things a tutor would do with me, and then at the end I can see a score- you can see a score down there and we'll also show you some graphs of your results. I'm a native English speaker, so I did pretty well, but you can practice this as often, as long as you want and it's always in your pocket. So thanks for watching a brief demo.
