Phonetic exercises make the basis for improving your pronunciation,
thus making it closer to the sample pronunciation of an American-
speaking person. Sample phrases are recorded by the American
speaker, processed and stored in the memory of your Partner

X5.
The phrases you pronounce are entered via the built-in microphone,
processed, and then compared to the sample. In the comparison
stage, a unique speech recognition technology is used to determine
which phrase was spoken. On the basis of this comparison the
degree of the closeness of your pronunciation to the model is
assessed.
