What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a powerful language learning method where you listen to native speech and repeat it immediately, mimicking the rhythm, intonation, and pronunciation. Our TTS tool is perfect for this technique because you can:

Repeat Infinitely

Play the same phrase as many times as you need without tiredness or variation

Slow Down Speech

Reduce playback speed to 0.5x-0.75x to catch every syllable clearly

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I practice shadowing with this tool?

Enter or paste the text you want to practice, generate the audio, then play it and repeat immediately after the voice. You can slow down the speed to 0.5x-0.75x for easier practice. Repeat until you can match the rhythm and pronunciation.

Can I practice different accents?

Yes! For many languages, we offer multiple regional accents. For English, you can practice American, British, Australian, and Indian accents. Each accent helps you understand native speakers from different regions.

What speed should I use for shadowing?

Start with 0.5x speed for new content, move to 0.75x as you improve, and work up to 1x (normal speed) for natural fluency. The slower speeds help you catch subtle sounds that might be missed at normal speed.

Is TTS effective for pronunciation practice?

Yes! Modern neural TTS like ours produces natural-sounding speech with accurate pronunciation, stress patterns, and intonation. While it can't replace a human teacher, it's excellent for independent practice and building muscle memory.
